A Village Square shows a town alive with movement as matchstick figures run, walk and mingle in the street. The work is a fine example of the style and subject matter that would gain the artist widespread acclaim. The depiction of northern industrial life is painted in the same six oils that he worked with on all his paintings, adding to the instantly recognisably nature of his work. This print is a fine example of Lowry's personal interpretation of the environment where he grew up and lived.
