- Abstract
-
Watercolor drawing of the view looking down the Thames from Strawberry Hill. Houses are visible along the banks of the river and a church is seen in the distance at center. A cart carrying hay travels the road on near side of the river towards the house on the left, and a coach drives nearby. Cows graze on the lawn in the foreground next to a sitting man wearing a hat; beyond them a single sailboat travels the river. The scene is framed stands of trees on the right and left, and fair-weather clouds fill the blue sky above
