The subject is probably the Cattle Market on Norwich Hill. Munnings recalled that during his years as an apprentice lithographer in Norwich in the 1890s he would roam the city and its environons on a bicycle in search of subjects to paint. 'As I grew older and rode more up-to-date bicyles I discovered new places. Often, with water-colours or oils, I used to sit and paint by the riverside below King Street, or in the Close, at the horse sales, Cattle Market or in inn yards' (An Artist's Life, Bungay, 1950, p. 53).
