The Port of London
This river scene shows the area of Bermondsey, looking west up the Thames. Thames lighter boats surround the steam-powered cargo ship, transferring goods from the ship to the dock.
Charles Wyllie trained at Leigh’s School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools. He focussed on coastal and river scenes but also diversified into landscape. His brother William was a well-regarded marine painter.
