More about this scene

Here we are granted a vision of pure peace. A boatman is resting his oars while hotel guests sit contemplating the slow-moving river. This rambling old inn is now the Swan Diplomat Hotel; the main building is much extended to the right, the left and the front. The thatched room is now tiled, and the outbuilding to the left converted to hotel rooms. To the right is now moored one of the Oxford college barges.
