This painting shows a river with two small boats carrying people and cargo. Tall masts lean over the water, and the boats look old and worn. In the background, a city skyline with spires and a bridge stretches across the horizon under a moody, cloudy sky. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to capture the light and mood of the scene. The colors are muted, with soft browns, blues, and grays blending together. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this one.
