Ships and boats are seen on the river and beyond Rochester Bridge can be made out. On the left bank of the river, the towers of Rochester Castle and Cathedral rise above the other buildings. In the foreground, on the opposite riverbank, five figures are seated, while another stands and talks to the group. | Subjects: | hill sailboat sunburst tower topography tree woman parasol cloud cathedral river bank bridge (urban) townscape/cityscape man river | Temporal: | 1790 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Joseph Farington (Artist) | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
