Joseph Mallord William Turner Blank 1795

Sorry, no image is available of this artwork
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 17 Recto:
Blank
D00569
Turner Bequest XXVI 16a
Inscribed by A.J. Finberg in red ink ‘16a’ top right
Stamped in black ‘XXVI 16A’ bottom right
Since the numbering of the leaves in this part of the sketchbook is apparently Turner’s own, there is no reason for the insertion of this blank leaf here, between two views of Kidwelly. It presumably belongs later in the book. Compare the blank leaf folio 38 recto (D00591; Turner Bequest XXVI 37a).
Verso:
Blank; stamped in brown ink with Turner Bequest monogram.
