Catalogue entry

This panoramic sketch has been taken from a south-easterly viewpoint overlooking the town of Huy and its surrounding countryside. It formed the basis for a gouache, pen and ink and watercolour drawing on blue paper of the same subject (Tate D20226; Turner Bequest CCXX S). Turner has delineated the nineteenth-century defensive fortress atop the crest of the central valley wall and summarily suggested the contours of the topography around it.
A similar view of Huy taken from the south-east is on the verso of folio 50 of this sketchbook (Tate D28137; Turner Bequest CCLXXXVII 50 a) and also corresponds to a gouache, pen and ink and watercolour drawing (Tate D20221; Turner Bequest CCXX N).
