Greenwich and the Thames

Oil painting. The painting entitled, 'Greenwich and the Thames' is a powerful evocation of the area at sunset, showing French influences in the use of colour and technique. The buildings and wharves and cranes are shown silhouetted against the brilliant sky. The river is also bathed in light and the scene is infused with an air of calm as a small boat glides through the still water. Everett first worked on paintings of the London docks in 1901. In the spring of 1918 he was commissioned by the Ministry of Information to produce some drawings and paintings of wartime London docks and the Thames.
