A View on the Thames n.d.

Thomas Rowlandson's "A View on the Thames" is a watercolor and pen drawing of a lively scene on the Thames River. The artist, known for his satirical caricatures, captures the everyday life of Londoners in the late 18th century. The composition is filled with boats of various sizes, bustling with people engaged in fishing, hauling cargo, and simply enjoying a day on the water. The drawing's perspective from a slightly elevated vantage point allows the viewer to appreciate the expansive view of the river and the cityscape in the background.
