Folio 34 Verso:
Trees, Probably beside the River Brent circa 1808–11
D41527
Pencil on white wove paper, 87 x 117 mm
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
The drawing, not mentioned in Finberg’s Inventory,1 is limited to a pencil mark near the gutter; it is apparently a tentative continuation of the foliage along the river bank on folio 35 recto opposite (D08006), under which the subject is discussed.
