About the piece
Painted in 1761 by Thomas Mellish, this oil on canvas captures the bustling maritime activity of the Thames Estuary. A prominent sailing ship, detailed with ornate woodwork and carrying the British Ensign, dominates the composition as it cuts through rolling waves under an expansive sky of billowing clouds.
