Catalogue entry

This sketch, and the drawing on the folio opposite (Tate D19945; Turner Bequest CCXVI 197a), are most likely studies of one of the portals of Saint-Vulfran Church at Abbeville. The elaborate Gothic mouldings and ornament are recorded in detail by Turner. For other views of Abbeville see Tate D18582, D19929–D19933, D19937, D19943–D19944, D19948, D20116–D20117; Turner Bequest CCXI 37a, CCXVI 189a–191a, 193a, 196a–197, 199, CCXVII 22–23.
