Shipping on the Clyde

The painting features a street scene by the River Clyde in Glasgow illuminated by moonlight.^[2] Some lighting comes from the shop windows and a small fire at which two dockworkers are warming themselves. Atkinson Grimshaw was known for nocturnal views of the industrial port cities of the Victorian era and this is a variation on the model.^[3]
