This piece is delicately executed in the Romantic style of landscape painter Joseph Mallord William (J.M.W.) Turner (1775 - 1851). This is a scene of the river as viewed from the shore, with the right side depicting three men in a rowboat moving toward a group of ships with sails, the left side has two figures behind barrels and long shovel or paddle. An outline of buildings and ships can be perceived in a hazy background. White clouds dot the sky. Framed = 21.75" x 25.5" / Sight = 13.5" x 16.5"
