Painted by Lim Tze Peng, this evocative scene captures the Singapore River alive with hardworking bumboats, once the lifeblood of the city’s commerce. The towering Victoria Memorial Hall in the background stands as a reminder of Singapore’s colonial past and cultural legacy. With his expressive brushwork and subtle ink washes, Lim immortalizes the energy of trade, the flow of history, and the enduring charm of the river that shaped a nation.
