The prospect of London opens before the viewer in this panorama of the city seen from Greenwich Park In the foreground an elegant company provides a focus of colour as the eye rests briefly on them before being drawn away along the length of the Thames towards distant St Paul's continually fascinated and diverted by the wealth of detail and activity in a painting which gives an unrivalled sense of the atmosphere and the presence of the great Georgian city.
