Description: “Queen Square” is one of a series of four views of London squares that Dayes produced at the outset of his professional career. He exhibited views of Queen Square and Grosvenor Square at the Royal Academy in 1787; these, along with his views of Hanover and Cavendish Squares, were engraved in 1787 and 1789. Queen Square, first laid out in the early eighteenth century, is located just east of Russell Square and was distinguished for its open prospect of the countryside, looking toward Hampstead and Highgate to the north.
