The Thames at Fulham

About this work

This painting shows a calm river reflecting soft light, with trees lining both banks. On the right, a large tree leans over the water, its branches dark against the pale sky. In the distance, a few buildings peek through the trees, and the whole scene feels quiet and still. The artist used loose, watery strokes to keep the colors light and airy—almost like a sketch. The river’s surface is smooth, with just a hint of ripples, and the trees blend into the misty background. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
