Catalogue entry

The date and occasion of this watercolour cloud study is unknown, however the study of Mont Saint-Michel on the verso of this sheet (Tate D25342; Turner Bequest CCLXIII 220) suggests that Turner had the coast of Northern France in mind when he painted it.
Verso:
See entry for Tate D25342 (Turner Bequest CCLXIII 220).
