"A Steamer of the Castle Line on the Thames" is a maritime painting by the British artist Charles Edward Dixon (1872–1934), who was renowned for his seascapes and depictions of ships. Dixon's work captures the bustling activity of the River Thames during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period when the river was one of the world's busiest waterways and a vital artery for the British Empire's trade and commerce.

The painting specifically portrays a steamship of the Castle Line, which was a prominent shipping line operating services between Europe, Africa, and other destinations during the peak of the British maritime trade. The Castle Line, formally known as the Castle Mail Packets Company, was later merged with the Union Line to form the Union-Castle Line, a significant operator of passenger and mail ships between Europe and Africa.

In this work, Dixon's attention to detail and his ability to capture the light and atmosphere of the Thames create a vivid scene that is both historically evocative and artistically compelling. The steamer, likely en route to or from exotic destinations, is depicted with precise lines and careful rendering, reflecting the industrial prowess and navigational expertise of the era.

The painting is characteristic of Dixon's style, which often featured the interaction between man-made vessels and the natural elements of sea and sky. His works are celebrated for their historical accuracy and technical merit, making them valuable records of maritime history as well as significant contributions to British art.

As a painter who frequently exhibited at the Royal Academy and was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, Charles Edward Dixon left behind a legacy of marine art that continues to be appreciated by both art enthusiasts and maritime historians. "A Steamer of the Castle Line on the Thames" stands as a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of Britain's maritime heritage.
