Joseph Mallord William Turner Avise, Val d'Aosta 1836

Joseph Mallord William Turner, ‘Avise, Val d'Aosta’ 1836
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 83 Recto:
Avise, Val d’Aosta 1836
D29194
Turner Bequest CCXCIII 83
Pencil on white wove paper, 190 x 113 mm
Inscribed, possibly by John Ruskin, in blue ink ‘83’ bottom left, inverted, and ‘320’ top left, inverted
Stamped in brown ‘CCXCIII 83’ top left, inverted
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
Drawn inverted in relation to main numbered sequence of subjects in the sketchbook, this depicts Avise in the Val d’Aosta from below, with the road to the left. The view is closer than that on a preceding page (D29189; Turner Bequest CCXCIII 80a).
This page is very grubby.
