Catalogue entry

The rear sketch shows Berlin looking along the River Spree towards the Waisenhauskirche (Church of the Orphanage) and the Waisenbrücke (Orphan’s Bridge). Above it is a prospect of Berlin taken from Kreuzberg, a district to the south of the city centre. The foot of the Kreuzberg Liberation Monument is visible at top left (see Tate D31058; Turner Bequest CCCVII 20). A procession of carriages navigates the winding road leading to and from the city centre in the foreground.

For other sketches of Berlin see Tate D21045–D31082; Turner Bequest CCCVII 13a–32.
