Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 79 Recto:
A Hillside 1798
D01592
Turner Bequest XL 77
Pencil on white wove paper, 135 x 95 mm
Inscribed by John Ruskin in red ink ‘77’ top left, upside down

Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
Like the pencil lines on folio 78 verso opposite (D01591; Turner Bequest 76a), these may represent hills inverted relative to the sketchbook’s foliation; the subjects may be associated, but there is no clear connection between the two.
