Catalogue entry

Drawn with the page turned horizontally, this large house has not yet been identified. It is presumably in North Wales, but as Turner made a point of drawing several houses in Lancashire, often the seats of his patrons, it is possible that this rapid but careful little study was made there; compare the study of Gawthorpe Hall on folios 58 verso–59 recto (D02086–D02087). The numbers inscribed above the drawing indicate the numbers of lights in each window.
Verso:
Blank; washed with a pale buff ground. There is grey wash offset from folio 30 recto opposite (D02040).
