Mountains 1836
D34280
Turner Bequest CCCXLII 77v
Chalk and pencil on paper, 238 x 312 mm
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
Made on the verso of Tate D34279 (Turner Bequest CCCXLII 77), a view of Sallanches, the present sketch is insufficiently detailed to allow easy identification, but must also date from Turner’s 1836 tour of the Alps. For more information about the tour, see the Introduction to this section.
Technical notes:
Turner began using this paper in Geneva at the outset of his 1836 tour of the Alps. For more information, see the Technical notes section for Tate D34195 (Turner Bequest CCCXLII 11).
