Joseph Mallord William Turner, ‘A Sluice and a Watermill, with a Distant View of Carisbrooke Castle’ ?1796
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
A Sluice and a Watermill, with a Distant View of Carisbrooke Castle ?1796
D00881
Turner Bequest XXXIII J
Pencil and watercolour on white wove paper, 202 x 270 mm
Stamped in black ‘XXXIII J’ bottom right
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
This is apparently based on the drawing in the Isle of Wight sketchbook (Tate D00432; Turner Bequest XXIV 25). See also Tate D08274 (Turner Bequest CXXI R).
The work is noted by Finberg as ‘Formerly No.49, 4th Loan Collection’,1 without indicating when it was withdrawn. As it is not in the catalogue for the 1906–8 showing in Manchester,2 only the 1891–5 Sheffield showing (commemorated in William White’s 1896 book) is given here as definite, with other venues before 1906 listed speculatively.
