 Lights in Harbour by John Atkinson Grimshaw

 

 
This painting consists of a nocturnal view across the bay at Scarborough, with the Grand Hotel, the one of the largest brick built buildings in the world in the background. The lights of the foreshore flicker beneath the large hotel building. In the foreground are fishing boats ,and drying nets. The calm sea reflecting the lights, is beautifully done. The clear night sky reflects the lights of the town.
