About the piece
Dating to approximately 1745, this expansive work from the Yale Center for British Art provides a detailed look at London's historic waterfront. The composition centers on the Thames, with the red-brick towers of Lambeth Palace and the newly built Westminster Bridge in the distance, all rendered under a soft, luminous sky that emphasizes the scale of the landscape.
