Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 6 Recto:
Trees c.1824
D18168
Turner Bequest CCIX 6
Pencil on white wove paper, 115 x 118 mm
Inscribed in pencil by Turner ‘P [?and] acorn’
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
Here Turner has rendered a cursory sketch of trees in woodland or pasture. This drawing may be connected to the views of Colchester framed by trees on Tate D18163, D18165, D18167; Turner Bequest CCIX 3, 4, 5. The artist has inscribed a note at the foot of one of the trees reading ‘P’ (perhaps signifying ‘poplar’ or ‘pine’) and ‘acorn’.
