Fog, Thames Embankment is a 1892 unspecified by Thomas Roberts, a Impressionism work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The painting depicts a cityscape, with a prominent building on the right side and a body of water in the foreground. The water is choppy, with white waves visible. In the background, there are several boats and a bridge or pier. The sky above is hazy, with a thick layer of fog obscuring the view. The painting's color palette is muted, with shades of gray, brown, and beige dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The overall effect is one of gloominess, with the fog and choppy water creating a sense of unease.
