Catalogue entry

For Turner’s visit to the Chartreuse in 1802 see Introduction to the sketchbook.
The early title for this drawing, given by John Ruskin, seems right as far as it goes but the mill might be that formerly at Fourvoirie (destroyed in 1935); see also, from this sketchbook, D04516; Turner Bequest LXXIV 23.
Verso:
Blank, inscribed perhaps by a later hand in pencil ‘11’
