"By the Thames" captures the dynamic energy and bustling life of a cloudy day in London, set against the serene foreground of the River Thames. In the middleground, the vibrant strokes evoke the constant movement of people strolling, their colourful figures blurred in motion, representing the flow of urban life. Above them, a large, golden-hued tree stretches its branches toward the moody, cloud-filled sky, providing a striking contrast to the city's cold, busy streets.
