This is a watercolour drawing by the Grieve family. It shows a quiet river scene from early 1800s England. You’ll find it at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The Grieves weren’t just painters—they designed backdrops for London theatres like Covent Garden. Their drawings often focused on real spots in Kent and the South of England.
