Catalogue entry

This page contains two sketches, drawn inverted in relation to the main sequence of subjects in the sketchbook:

i. (main sketch) Courmayeur church and terrace from below, looking down the Val d’Aosta.
ii. (above right) From above Courmayeur, looking down the Val d’Aosta, with Courmayeur church to the left.

Turner sketched a similar view to both these sketches in a watercolour study (Tate D36230; Turner Bequest CCCLXIV 368), but from a distinct viewpoint.
