A romanticized, picturesque view which the title indicates may date from before 1825, when the Royal Naval Asylum and the Greenwich Hospital School combined as the Upper and Lower Schools of Greenwich Hospital (the formal title change being in September 1825). It looks north from the Park over the Queen's House, east colonnade and east wing of the Asylum buildings as extended by Daniel Asher Alexander, 1807-11.

The pedimented columniated building through the trees on the left seems to be an artist's mistake, suggesting he may have not worked from life. Ships' masts are visible above the river to the right, above a wooden-legged Greenwich Pensioner talking to two young women. A dog shows interest in free-ranging deer on the left, which were a feature of the Park until enclosed in the south-east corner 'Wilderness' in the 1920s.
