This painting of 1893-97 is based upon a small oil sketch, also in the collection. It is one of several large industrial and maritime views of Cardiff by the artist. His slightly smaller Les docks de Cardiff was purchased from the Salon des Artistes Francais in 1896 and is now in the Mus?e d'Orsay in Paris.
