Folio 10 Verso:
Foliage c.1799–1802
D40586
India ink stump on blue laid paper, 210 x 135 mm
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
Not mentioned in Finberg’s 1909 Inventory,1 this is only part of a drawing; it has been rebound opposite folio 11 recto (D04005), a blank page thus lacking the remainder of the study, which does not seem to have survived.

Technical notes:
There is offsetting corresponding with the drawing on folio 113 recto (D04130; Turner Bequest LXIX 114), which however does not appear to be the continuation of the drawing on this page
