About the piece
Painted in 1788 by Benjamin West, this work offers a charming glimpse into the late 18th-century popularity of sea-bathing at Ramsgate. The composition features numerous figures and characteristic horse-drawn bathing machines clustered at the base of towering white cliffs, rendered with the soft, atmospheric light and painterly detail characteristic of British landscape traditions.
