Folio 4 Recto:
A Rustic Summer House at the Edge of Lake Tiny, near Farnley Hall 1818
D12001
Turner Bequest CLIII 4
Pencil on white wove paper, 111 x 185 mm
Stamped in black ‘CLIII 4’ bottom right
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
This is the right part of a double-page spread continued from D12000; Turner Bequest CLIII 3a opposite, and continued further right on D12002; Turner Bequest CLIII 5, following, recording the view across part of Lake Tiny near Farnley Hall, to a rustic summerhouse seen through a screen of lakeside saplings. The sketch served as the basis of a finished watercolour, Grounds of Farnley Hall (private collection),1 painted for Walter Fawkes of Farnley about 1818. See notes to D12000 for Turner’s adaptation of this drawing, proposals for the inclusion of water birds, and Jan Piggott’s misidentification of the summer house as the Pheasant’s [or ‘Peasant’s’] Nest, actually sited elsewhere, on the banks of the River Washburn near Leathley.
