About the piece
Painted around 1850, this watercolor by British landscape master David Cox captures the serene atmosphere of Eton College from the River Thames. The composition uses soft, layered washes to depict the historic architecture nestled within a grove of trees, while delicate reflections and birds skimming the water add a sense of peaceful movement and depth.
