His detailed paintings showcased iconic landmarks such as the Town Hall and Mansion House, which stood proudly in the bustling city. Another masterpiece by Westall depicted St. Georges Church from the Docks, providing a glimpse into the maritime heritage of Liverpool. Not limited to just Liverpool, Westall's artistic prowess extended to other locations as well. In his vivid aquatint engraving of Kensington Palace in 1819, he brought out the beauty and grandeur of this historic landmark. The intricate details showcased his skillful craftsmanship. Westall himself was not only an artist but also an engraver, evident from an engraving bearing his name. This further highlights his versatility and talent within the art world. Saxonbury Lodge, another creation by William Westall, transports viewers to a serene countryside setting with its picturesque landscape capturing nature's beauty effortlessly. Similarly, Petworth Park showcases unknown creators' collaboration with Westall to depict stunning scenery that captivates all who lay eyes on it. Westall's talents were not confined to landscapes alone; he also captured architectural marvels like Canterbury's Gate of St. Augustine's with finesse through J Fife's creative lens. The Exchange and Nelsons Monument in Liverpool are immortalized through Edward Francis Finden's interpretation during the 1830s - showcasing both historical significance and artistic brilliance combined seamlessly. London too found its place within Westall’s repertoire as seen in Charterhouse at Finsbury where he beautifully portrayed this iconic location through William James Bennett’s artwork dating back to 1816. The Thames Tunnel is yet another testament to Westall’s ability to capture significant moments in history; T Blood’s depiction allows us a glimpse into London life during 1827 when this engineering marvel was completed.
