Parton’s Wargrave Church on the Thames depicts a tranquil scene of the Thames river, surrounded by lush greenery.  Two empty canoes line the left bank of the river.  Wargrave Church (now known as St. Mary’s Church Wargrave) is in the center of the composition, partially obstructed by the full trees, yet its brown coloring helps it to stand out against the greenery.  The landscape in the background is rendered in a brushy, Barbizon style, while the foreground elements of reeds and lily pads are more meticulously detailed.
