London from Greenwich

Joseph Mallord William Turner and Charles Turner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a high vantage point overlooking Greenwich towards London. Several deer are grazing on a grassy slope in the foreground, with grand buildings, including domed structures, visible beyond. The horizon is near the top of the image, showing a cityscape with ships on the river and smoke in the distance. The style features fine engravings with detailed buildings and landscapes. The color palette is warm sepia, giving the image an aged and historical look.
