Technical notes:
Not mentioned by Finberg,1 this is the verso of Tate D01628 (Turner Bequest XL 96), half of a watercolour composition removed from the Dynevor Castle sketchbook for display during the nineteenth century. It is not clear why this side of the leaf has been accessioned, as the marks appear to be the residue of the paste used to mount the drawing.
