The Thames: The Strand Shore and Westminster Bridge is a 1747 oil by Samuel Scott, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a river scene with boats and a tall structure on the right. The river is calm, and there are several boats of different sizes on it. On the right side of the painting, there is a tall structure that appears to be some kind of factory or industrial building, with smoke coming out of it. In the foreground, there are people in small boats on the river. The sky is cloudy and gray, which gives the painting a somber mood. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of industry and activity, with the contrast between the calm river and the busy factory creating a sense of tension. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
