About the piece

Created in 1831 by the English master David Cox, this watercolor captures the grandeur of the New London Bridge shortly after its completion. The work features delicate washes of color that beautifully render the hazy London atmosphere, the steady flow of the Thames, and the architectural silhouettes of the growing city.
