拍品专文

The strong demand from local businessmen for pictures of the city and docks led scenes of the Glasgow docks to become one of Grimshaw's most popular subjects. 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 and has included his characteristic clock which can be seen in most of his other paintings of the same scene.

For a view by Grimshaw of Greenock docks see lot 71.
