Description

Watercolour over pencil. This is a particularly good example of Turner's early work, dating from circa 1794-95 when he was working for Dr Thomas Monro (1759-1833) at his drawing academy at 8 Adelphi Terrace, London. Monro commissioned young artists to copy works from his collection and consequently became one of the most important patrons of his day. His collection included many works by John Robert Cozens, who Monro treated during his mental illness in the 1790s, Wilson, Gainsborough and Canaletto. It is likely to be based on a work by Cozens when he was in Italy.
