Note du spécialiste

The present drawing shows the same view, but taken from the middle of the estuary, as in Newton Fielding's aquatint after Bonington for J.F. Ostervald's Excursions sur les côtes et dans les ports de France (see P. Noon, Richard Parkes Bonington, exhibition catalogue, New Haven, 1992, pp. 98-99, no. 14). It is similar in style and technique and must date from the same period, 1823-5.
