The river and its environs served as a perpetual source of inspiration for Trevelyan, who frequently produced various pictures of scenes along the West London stretch of the Thames. The present print is part of the Thames Suite, a collection of eleven etchings that illustrate Trevelyan's fascination with the river and its dynamic landscapes.
