Most of the tree studies in this Taymouth Park group (see under folio 98 verso; D03102; Turner Bequest LVI 96a) are double-page spreads. While perhaps a continuation of the subject on folio 99 verso opposite (D03104; Turner Bequest LVI 97a), this one, like those on folios 101 verso–102 recto (D03108, D03109; Turner Bequest LVI 99a–100), is possibly a separate, single-page drawing.
