Joseph Mallord William Turner ?Ullswater with Glenridding 1831

Joseph Mallord William Turner, ‘?Ullswater with Glenridding’ 1831
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 23 Recto:
?Ullswater with Glenridding 1831
D25805
Turner Bequest CCLXVI 23
Pencil on white wove paper, 114 x 187 mm
Inscribed in blue ink by John Ruskin ‘23’ top right and 342’ bottom right
Stamped in black ‘CCLXVI 23’ bottom right
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
This sketch, continued on folio 22 verso (D25804), may, as Finberg suggested, be of Ullswater.1 The view would therefore be from the foothills of Arnison Crag to the south of the lake, from which we look over Glenridding at the left with the shoulder of Birk Fell and Place Fell on the right.
