Comments
He stands beside his boat, the rudder lying in the foreground, spreading bread, and keenly watched by his dog. Windsor is in the background across the Thames. William would almost certainly have known the the subject of this portrait, part of his life on the river, while the type of composition inspired his own early portraits.
