About the piece
Painted in 1794 by Joseph Farington, this oil-on-canvas work captures a serene moment on the River Thames. Westminster Abbey dominates the hazy skyline, rising behind the arches of Westminster Bridge, while small rowing boats and sailboats navigate the calm waters in the foreground.
