Created between 1756-9, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 36.7x62.2 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. The painting depicts a serene scene on the river, where a majestic smack sails gracefully through calm waters under a gentle breeze.
