203. [N03048] Gipsy Camp c. 1807–9
THE TATE GALLERY, LONDON (3048)
Oak, 48 × 36 (122 × 91·5)
Coll. Turner Bequest 1856 (? 265, ‘1 (panel upright)’ 4'0" × 3'0"); transferred to the Tate Gallery 1922.
Lit. Rothenstein 1949, p. 6; colour pl. 3.
Close in style, technique and its wooden support to Cassiobury Park: Reaping (No. 209a [N04663]) and like it probably close in date and intention to the large Thames sketches on canvas (Nos. 160–76), though presumably definitely painted indoors. It is also close to The Quiet Ruin (No. 83 [N00487]) and Sketch of a Bank, with Gipsies (No. 82 [N00467]), which were probably exhibited in Turner's gallery in 1809. As in these, the cows are probably based on studies in the ‘Cows’ sketchbook (LXII).
