Scene on the Thames with Boats and Figures is a 1773 watercolor by Grimm, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet riverside scene with two people walking near the water. One person wears a hat and carries something in their hand, while the other sits in a small boat. Tall trees with bare branches stretch across the top, and a distant building or tower is faintly visible in the background. The artist used soft watercolors to create gentle shades of gray and brown, giving the scene a calm, misty feel. The trees look almost skeletal, with lots of fine lines for leaves.
