Note du spécialiste

The Reading exhibition catalogue notes the work's similarity to an oil sketch on paper of Skelwith Force (no 17 in the 1982 exhibition) and suggests that it may depict the same scene and was executed on the same trip . This trip was recorded in the diary of Jessy Harden on 11 August 1807: 'We had visit from two artists introduced by William (W.H) Reinagle and Havell. We all walked to Skelwith and roamed by the bridge'.
