The River, King Street, Norwich is a 1795 watercolor by John Thirtle, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a river scene with a building on the right side and trees in the background. The river takes up most of the foreground, and a small boat is docked on the left side. The painting has a soft, dreamy quality to it, with gentle colors and subtle shading. The artist has used watercolors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the scene. The Romanticism movement is characterized by its emphasis on emotion and imagination, and this painting is a great example of that.
