Description: | This busy scene shows a pleasure garden at Richmond, on the river Thames. The people promenading on the bank are being entertained by musicians and performers in boats. These include a man playing a set of bells, who is standing in the boat just leaving the bank. Other people are being rowed on the river. These include the two ladies seated under a canopy in the boat on the left of the picture. The picture follows the common landscape practice of the time of a dark, brownish area at the front of the picture, moving to blue tones in the distance. Robert Clevelly's watercolours were often large. He was a London artist. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: unknown | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Robert Cleveley | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
