Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 44 Recto:
Blank
D18523
Inscribed by John Ruskin in red ink ‘41’ bottom right
Stamped in black ‘CCX(a) – 41’ bottom right
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
Finberg’s Turner Bequest Inventory gives page ‘41’ as ‘A falling figure’, the subject on the verso of this leaf (D18524), without his usual ‘a’ suffix to indicate its being a verso,1 although this appears to have always been the case.
