Specialist note

Peter de Wint depicted this stretch of coastline several times. A version in the collection of Miss Bostock was illustrated in Martin Hardie's 1929 Studio publication on the artist. The artist made several Isle of Wight drawings in circa 1814 for W.B. Cooke's Picturesque Delineation of the South Coast of England, a collection of prints published as a bound volume in 1849.
