Description: | On this shore scene, a group of figures is situated on the left bank of the river Neckar beside a track. There are shallow steps down to the right. A large expanse of water is at the centre and two horses with riders are walking through the water from the right to the left. The city of Heidelberg can be seen in the middle ground, with an arched bridge, the Old Bridge, to the left and the Church of the Holy Spirit to the right. The city Castle stands on a hill that rises behind the town in the background. There is a milepost in the foreground left with an inscription: HEIDELBE / J.M.W. Turner. A portfolio is resting against the milestone with a palette and a picture next to it.
