This painting is in the style of Samuel Scott who painted views of London, particularly scenes of the River Thames. Scott started his career painting Dutch-style maritime paintings, but he later adopted the style of the famous Venetian painter, Canaletto. Canaletto came to Britain in 1746 and his views of the Thames at London and Windsor sold very well to wealthy art collectors. This success prompted Scott, and others, to imitate him.
