Catalogue entry

This view looks up the Val d’Aosta, with the Château of St Pierre (right), Sarriod (centre left) and Château d’Argent tower on the hill in the distance. There is a figure on the road in foreground. Turner sketched the same view on a larer scale and in much greater detail in Tate D34514; Turner Bequest CCCXLIV 150.
