Joseph Mallord William Turner, ‘Scene in Lancashire or North Wales’ c.1808
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Scene in Lancashire or North Wales circa 1808
D06852
Turner Bequest CIII 22
Pencil, pen and ink and watercolour with gum arabic on off-white wove paper, 226 x 299 mm
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
This leaf is detached from the sketchbook and mounted separately.
Comparing this to the oil sketch of Tabley from the same sketchbook (D06848; Turner Bequest CIII 18), Gage considers this likely to have been made ‘away from the motif’, although unlike the Tabley view it has no known basis in on-the-spot drawings. The subject is currently unidentified and the provisional title is Finberg’s.
