Thames

This Wyllie watercolour shows a variety of vessels, including a tug, steam ship, Thames barges and sailing vessels, on the River Thames.

Wyllie was born in London, and trained at Heatherley's Academy, and then at the Royal Academy Schools, where he first exhibited in 1868. During the mid-1870s he spent much time on a barge, converted into a floating studio, going up and down the Thames.
