About the piece

Painted in 1818, this atmospheric work by James Stark showcases the artist's mastery of light and shadow within the tradition of the Norwich School. The scene depicts the River Thames near Lambeth, with merchant barges moored in the foreground and the elegant span of Westminster Bridge appearing through a soft, sun-drenched haze.
