Description: | This painting by an unknown artist is an illustration of George IV's visit to Greenwich. The royal yacht can be seen in the centre with another sailing ship to the left, surrounded by smaller rowing boats carrying passengers. The image has also been described as a visit of George III, on 30th October 1797, and William IV, in August 1830. The picture?s stylistic rendering exemplifies the lasting influence Dutch 17th-century painting had on British maritime art until the early 19th century.
