- Abstract
-
A scene along the Thames River in Twickenham with modest functional structures on the wooded banks bustling with activity. Barges with sails float on the water. A man leads two horses from the shore while other horses ford the river. A man with a companion pushes a wheelbarrow while a family strolls in the middle distance. On the far shore smoke billows from a chimney stack among a cluster of buildings
