This is evidently the continuation of a drawing from another page, but it is not at all clear what might be the main drawing in this case. It is possible, but not very apparent, that the woods here are an extension of the drawing of Fountains Hall and Abbey on the recto (D11384). Alternatively, a page might be missing between this and folio 11 recto (D11386) opposite.
The leaf is darkened by over-exposure during previous exhibitions of the recto.
