Specialist note

The picturesque mill at Westmoreland was also painted from much the same viewpoint by Turner on his 1797 tour of the lake district, and was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1798. It is now in the University of Liverpool. Another version of the present watercolour was sold in these Rooms, 4 February 1986, lot 97.
