About the piece
Painted in 1832 by British artist David Cox, this delicate watercolor captures the atmospheric light of Antwerp at dawn. The composition features several sailing vessels with their reflections shimmering on the calm water, while the city's spire rises in the distance under a sky streaked with soft pink clouds. It is a masterful example of the 19th-century British watercolor tradition.
