Catalogue entry

Turner’s interest here is concentrated on the Picturesque buildings of the Bishop’s Palace; the cathedral is suggested only by a few faint lines. Tate D00351 (Turner Bequest XXI X), although very slight, has a similar focus.

Blank; stamped in black ink with Turner Bequest monogram.
