This is one of a series of sketches relating to Sandycombe Lodge, Turner’s self-designed Twickenham house (see the introduction to the sketchbook), occupying most of the pages between folio 73 verso (D08057) and folio 86 verso (D08083), and apparently made working inwards from the back of the book. Here the elevation and plan are of the broad, shallow ‘Type B’ type categorised by Patrick Youngblood, as discussed in the Introduction to the Sandycombe section.
