Glasgow Docks

This street is most probably Broomielaw in Glasgow which Grimshaw painted on a number of occasions, each time altering the architecture very slightly. In our picture he has included actual names of contemporary stores such as Allsops Wine Merchants but he has omitted his characteristic clock which can be seen in most of his other paintings of the same scene, such as Broomielaw, Glasgow, sold at Christie's, London, 15 June 1990, lot 129.

We are grateful to Alexander Robertson, Curator, Leeds City Art Gallery, for his help with the preparation of this catalogue entry.
