About the piece

Dating to approximately 1820, this luminous watercolor by David Cox captures the quiet majesty of the Thames at Greenwich. The composition features small rowboats in the foreground that lead the eye across the water to the grand, classical facades of the Royal Hospital and a variety of sailing ships moored under an expansive, soft sky.
