[edit] The painting itself
The painting depicts the Chichester Canal in Sussex, southern England. The ship is probably a collier brig, as this serene scene had commercial purpose.
[edit] Colours
Its brilliant colours may have been influenced by atmospheric ash from the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia (see also Year Without a Summer).
[edit] Current status
The painting is currently housed in the Tate Collection.
