“Reflections on the Thames, Westminster” is an artwork created by John Atkinson Grimshaw in 1880 in the United Kingdom. Employing oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Impressionism art movement and measures 127 x 76.2 cm. It falls under the cityscape genre.
The artwork portrays an evocative nocturnal scene along the River Thames in Westminster. Illuminated by the soft glow of moonlight, the river reflects the lights from the surrounding architecture and bridge. The imposing structure of the Houses of Parliament can be seen prominently in the background, with the iconic clock tower (known today as Big Ben) clearly visible. Figures of people, including a person with a dog, are depicted walking along the embankment, adding a serene human element to the otherwise stark cityscape. The overall ambiance is serene yet deeply atmospheric, capturing the quiet majesty of London at night.
