The Thames at Battersea 1824

"The Thames at Battersea" (1824) by David Cox depicts a tranquil scene of a boat on the Thames River near Battersea, London. The painting's light palette and delicate brushstrokes capture the atmospheric qualities of the English landscape. The windmill in the background and the two fishermen in the boat add a touch of human activity to the serene scene, characteristic of Cox's watercolors that emphasize the natural world. This work showcases Cox's skill in capturing the subtleties of light and atmosphere, hallmark of his artistic style.
