Catalogue entry

This is presumably one of the series of drawings of views at Dover, but the place is not firmly identifiable. A copy of this subject in pencil and watercolour, probably by John Henderson (1764–1843), is in a private collection.
Verso:
Blank; stamped in brown ink with Turner Bequest monogram; inscribed in a later hand: ‘13 | b |a’.
