Turner Bequest CX 23
Pencil on white laid paper, 116 x 185 mm

Inscribed by John Ruskin in red ink ‘23’ bottom right

This is probably Ennerdale, for which see folios 24 and 25 of the sketchbook (D07564, D07566). Turner’s numbers perhaps relate to another map or key of the mountains, or to an unidentified colour key. Folio 25 is similarly inscribed with initial letters.
