Joseph Mallord William Turner ?A Standing Woman 1830

Joseph Mallord William Turner, ‘?A Standing Woman’ 1830
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 72 Verso:
?A Standing Woman 1830
D22462
Turner Bequest CCXL 72a
Pencil on white wove paper, 110 x 68 mm
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
As with the clearer drawing on the recto (D22461), this appears to be a single standing female figure, but the outline here is slight and disrupted by offsetting. For other figure studies in this sketchbook, see under folio 1 verso (D22324).
Technical notes:
There is heavy offsetting from the paste-down and staining from the leather overlaps beneath it inside the back cover opposite (D41057).
