Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 59 Verso:
Margate from the Sands circa 1805–9
D06452
Turner Bequest XCIX 55a
Pencil on off-white wove paper, 115 x 190 mm
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
Drawn with the sketchbook inverted, the subject is continued on folio 60 (D06453; Turner Bequest XCIX 56). Neither of Finberg’s suggestions seems right and this is more probably Margate, with the stone pier at left.
