A scene on the Thames below London Bridge. In front, near a wharf at the left, there are eight barges, in one of which is a group of seated figures. Out on the wide water clustered vessels lie at anchor. At the left of these is a man in a rowboat. At the right is a boat under sail, beyond which are other boats. On each side of the river is a row of warehouses. There is shipping in front of the warehouses at the left, and in the distance.
