William Maxwell Reekie (British 1869-1948) was a businessman and painter born in Manchester. He painted local scenes in addition to foreign views, and his work is held in public collections. The above oil would seem to show the influence of Lowry in terms of style and composition, with the empty and uninhabited shoreline.
