Catalogue entry

In this detailed and carefully worked drawing Turner depicts Dinant from a north-westerly perspective, incorporating its principal monuments: the citadel, the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame, and the arched bridge. This drawing formed the basis of a gouache, pen and ink and watercolour drawing held at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.1
