Shipping on the Clyde is an oil on millboard cityscape painting by the British artist John Atkinson Grimshaw, from 1881. It is in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, in Madrid. [1]
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]
