About the piece
Painted in 1631 by Dutch artist Claude de Jongh, this oil on panel depicts a detailed and atmospheric view of the London waterfront. The composition is anchored by the imposing silhouette of Westminster Abbey rising above a line of timber-framed houses, all reflected in the calm, glassy waters of the Thames as small boats navigate the morning light.
