Liverpool Quay by Moonlight

Liverpool Quay by Moonlight is an 1887 oil painting by the British artist John Atkinson Grimshaw.^[1] It is a cityscape that features an evening view of the city waterfront of Liverpool, then in Lancashire. An omnibus with a rear green light has stopped on the damp cobbles to pick up a woman in front of illuminated shop windows.^[2] Grimshaw became renowned for his use of light in his depictions of city scenes, inspired initially by the Pre-Raphaelitess and later by James McNeill Whistler.
