Joseph Mallord William Turner Dynevor Castle on a Wooded Cliff above the River Tywi (Towy) 1798

Joseph Mallord William Turner, ‘Dynevor Castle on a Wooded Cliff above the River Tywi (Towy)’ 1798
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 22 Recto:
Dynevor Castle on a Wooded Cliff above the River Tywi (Towy) 1798
D01275
Turner Bequest XXXVIII 24a
Pencil and watercolour with some scraping-out on white wove paper, 229 x 332 mm
Blind-stamped with Turner Bequest monogram bottom left
Stamped in black ‘XXXVIII 24a’ bottom left, descending vertically
The subject was drawn with the page turned horizontally. Although there are minor differences, especially in the distant hills to the right, this colour study appears to have been based on the pencil drawing on folio 31 recto (D01274; Turner Bequest XXXVIII 24). Dynevor also figures in views on folios 28 recto and 29 recto (D01271, D01272; Turner Bequest XXXVIII 21, 22).
Verso:
Blank, except for three short parallel marks in red chalk; stamped in brown ink with Turner Bequest monogram.
