Southampton Water is a 1830 oil by David Charles Read, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting depicts a serene water scene, with a sailboat on the left and a larger ship on the right. The water is calm, reflecting the sky above. In the background, a distant landmass or buildings are visible, but the details are unclear due to the painting's age and condition. The painting's style suggests an emphasis on capturing the atmosphere of the scene rather than precise details. The brushstrokes are visible, and the colors have faded over time, giving the painting a soft, muted quality.
