Joseph Mallord William Turner, ‘Laufenburg’ 1802
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 13 Verso:

D04664
Turner Bequest LXXVI 13a
Pencil on white laid paper, 156 x 201 mm

Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
The outline of buildings in this very slight sketch is repeated in ink on folio 14 of this sketchbook (D04665). The subject appears to be the same as appears in the more carefully drawn view, extended further to the left, on folio 25 verso (D04681), and thus identifiable as Laufenburg. Buildings seen here are repeated in a slighter sketch on folio 14 (D04665).
