Catalogue entry

Identified as Winchelsea by Edward Croft-Murray in pencil annotations to a copy of Finberg now in Tate’s Library, this sketch is more likely to show the approaches to Hastings. A similar view with some of the same buildings, identified by Eric Shanes as Hastings from Ore Place, is on folio 56 of the sketchbook (D05673) and there is another from closer up on folio 58 (D05675).

The leaf is splashed with ink or grey wash.
