Catalogue entry

This detailed but unidentified drawing depicts a town with a church at centre. Turner has drawn the view from the riverside, standing before an arched bridge. The church has Gothic flying buttresses and a Baroque steeple with cupola. There is a separate sketch above the principal view: at left buildings are visible, surrounded in part by what looks like a stone wall. An expansive landscape opens up beyond, with a river winding through it at right. This sketch is annotated with a barely legible inscription, which appears to read ‘Bruges’.
