This watercolor drawing shows a scene on the River Thames, made in the early 1800s by the Grieve family. It’s a quiet look at the river, done in watercolor and pencil. The Grieve family worked as scene painters for London theaters like Covent Garden. Their drawings often show real places, like spots along the Thames.
