At an evening, Pip and Herbert row a wherry in a race against Startop and Drummle on the River Thames.
In the background, the Hammersmith Bridge blocks the setting sun, and casts a shadow on the riverbed.
Pip owns a boat, but shares it with Herbert, who on the other hand shares with him his chambers in the City of London. Since the sport was right at the house door of his tutor, Mr. Pocket, and Startop and Drummle were already practising it, Pip joined the fun.
