Specialist note

Turner made his first trip to the Lake District in 1814, and went again in 1840. The Wordsworth Trust have several sketches from this latter tour dated July 1840. Whilst the first tour resulted in just three exhibited works, the second was much more productive, and Turner showed eighteen Lake District subject between 1841 and 1854, including the present watercolour.
