Passing the City Hall, Belfast: A Moment in Time during a Recruiting March (Conor, William, 1881-1968) This evocative crayon drawing on paper by Irish artist William Conor captures the essence of a bygone era in Belfast's history. The image portrays a recruiting march, with soldiers in uniforms and civilians in their Sunday best, making their way past the imposing City Hall. The year is not specified, but the turn-of-the-century attire and military uniforms suggest the early 1900s. Conor's masterful use of crayon on paper imbues the scene with a sense of warmth and nostalgia. The vibrant colors and bold lines bring the bustling crowd to life, while the grandeur of City Hall serves as a striking backdrop. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricately rendered uniforms, the expressive faces of the soldiers and civilians, and the architectural details of the City Hall. The recruiting march was a common sight in Belfast during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as the city played a significant role in the British military. This drawing offers a unique glimpse into the past, capturing the spirit of the time and the connection between the people of Belfast and their military heritage. William Conor was a renowned Irish artist, known for his portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes. His work has been exhibited in galleries throughout Europe and the United States, and is held in the collections of several major museums. This drawing, with its rich historical significance and artistic merit, is a testament to Conor's talent and his deep connection to his native Ireland.
