The artist has skillfully portrayed the river in a calm, reflective state, with boats gently drifting along the water. The bridge itself is rendered in meticulous detail, highlighting the grandeur of its arches and stonework. In the distance, St. Paul’s Cathedral dominates the skyline, its dome standing tall against a backdrop of dramatic clouds. The warm hues of the sky transition from golden yellows to soft blues, creating a serene yet dynamic atmosphere.
The delicate brushstrokes bring the reflections of both the bridge and the boats to life, giving the water an almost mirror-like quality. The framing complements the painting's classical subject matter, with an ornate, golden wooden frame that adds a touch of elegance.
