John and Nell Moody lived in Brunswick Square after their marriage in 1937. Moody painted this scene from a first floor window, shortly before the house was bomb-damaged during the Blitz. A popular artistic and literary space within Bloomsbury, former residents included Virginia Woolf, Duncan Grant, E.M. Forster and John Ruskin.
