An original and luminous 18th-century view of the Thames with Westminster Bridge in London, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. The technique used by Canaletto is pen and brown ink with grey wash on paper. Prominent is London's great river with its boats of various sizes, while further back Westminster Bridge can be seen. On the right bank of the Thames some London buildings and the lighthouse can be admired. There are dark clouds on the horizon, but the day remains fine.
Canaletto painted three variants of this picture. The work is undated and is on display at the Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection, USA.
