About the piece
Painted in 1810 by David Cox, this watercolor captures the atmospheric light and quiet industry of Millbank on the River Thames. The composition masterfully balances the grounded presence of a riverside cottage and towering trees with the open, airy expanse of the water and distant vessels.
