About the piece
Dating from around 1770, this oil painting captures a serene moment on the River Thames at Lambeth. The composition highlights the everyday industry of the river with prominent wooden pilings and a heavy, covered barge, while the recognizable silhouettes of Lambeth Palace and St Mary's church provide a stately backdrop under a soft, expansive English sky.
