Catalogue entry

Inverted relative to the sketchbook’s foliation, this is a view of the outer face of the ruined Sharington Range on the east side of Dudley Castle, seen from the north-east. The view is now largely obscured by trees in Dudley Zoo. There is a similar, not quite continuous sketch of the wall to the left of this section on folio 42 recto opposite (D22401), while a drawing in the contemporary Kenilworth sketchbook (Tate D22104; Turner Bequest CCXXXVIII 66a) shows the North Gate at the end of the range to the right.
For other views of Dudley, see under folio 39 recto (D22395).
Technical notes:
This leaf is affected by the extensive pale brown, mottled staining which extends throughout this particular gathering (folios 31–42; D22379–D22402) and also folios 30 and 43 recto and verso (D22377, D22378, D22403, D22404), as discussed in the Technical notes to the sketchbook’s Introduction.
