J.M.W. Turner: Sketchbooks, Drawings and Watercolours

This sketch, which continues at the right on folio 67 (D26386) belongs to a sequence of sketches of hills and valleys that have not been identified, despite Turner’s inscriptions: folios 65 verso–68 verso (D26383–D26389). The present sketch depicts a hill with a path running up to a building which is perhaps a ruin; at the right on the continuing page is a river and Turner has inscribed a note that looks like ‘mid mary’. Drawn at the bottom of the present page is a sketch that looks along a path to a building; perhaps the same one that is shown in the top sketch but from closer to.
