This watercolor shows a river with boats and a busy shoreline. In the distance, a large building with two tall towers sits on the far bank. The sky is gray, and the water looks calm but full of small waves. The artist focused on everyday life near Westminster Bridge, capturing how people and boats moved around the city. The buildings and river look detailed but soft, like a quick sketch. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this work in person.
