Catalogue entry

Inverted relative to the sketchbook’s foliation, this slight study of a single boat, like the other rapid sketches in this book, relates to the arrival of Louis-Philippe, King of the French, at Portsmouth Harbour on 8 October 1844, as discussed in the Introductions to the sketchbook and the overall section.
The recto is blank; it is inscribed by John Ruskin in red ink ‘28’ and stamped in black ‘CCCLXII – 28’ at the bottom right. For numerous instances of blank, unaccessioned rectos in this sketchbook, see the technical notes in the Introduction.
