Battersea is a 1850 watercolor by Edward Bragg, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting depicts a serene scene of a riverbank, with two boats docked in the foreground. The boat on the left is white, while the one on the right is dark, with its sails raised. In the background, several buildings line the river, including a tall structure with a red roof. The painting's muted colour palette and soft brushstrokes evoke a sense of calmness and tranquillity. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the boats and the surrounding landscape.
