Catalogue entry

Drawn as Turner worked through the sketchbook from the back, and thus in reverse to the present numbering, this is the right half of a double-page spread continued from folio 300 recto (D11903), depicting open moorland near Hall Beck Gill (see notes to folio 302 verso; D11908), the subject of contiguous sketches. To the right a lone man sits with his gun across his lap, evidently resting from a shoot while his dogs sit nearby. The dogs are similar to those sketched on folios 82 recto and 83 recto (D11677, D11678).
