Catalogue entry

Inverted relative to the sketchbook’s foliation, this slight view continues on folio 63 verso opposite (D22444). It shows Hammersmith Bridge through trees on the Barnes bank of the River Thames, looking north-west to the waterfront at Hammersmith (on the other page). As discussed under folio 58 verso (D22434), where other Hammersmith views are mentioned, Turner’s studies of the bridge seem to have a rather provisional air, and may show it still under construction before its October 1827 opening.
