Catalogue entry

As part of unpublished Turner research informed by local knowledge, Dr Bernard Richards confirmed this as a Dudley subject.1 Inverted relative to the sketchbook’s foliation, the keep of the castle is seen to the south from the wooded slopes now occupied by Dudley Zoo, with the ruins of the priory to its west on the right. There are variations of this view on folios 54 verso–55 recto and 55 verso–56 recto (D22426–D22429).
For other views of Dudley, see under folio 39 recto (D22395).
