About the piece

Created around 1800 by topographical artist Daniel Turner, this oil on panel depicts the landmark York Water-Gate and the grand Adelphi buildings. The composition captures a serene yet industrious moment on the Thames, with masted ships moored alongside the stone steps and figures moving about the architectural gateway of London.
