專家說明

Another view of Harrow-on-the-Hill by Girtin is in the Yale Centre for British Art, New Haven and dates to circa 1794. The present drawing is also datable to circa 1794.

Sir John Clermont Witt (1907-1982), the son of Sir Robert Witt, was, like his father a keen collector of drawings and a patron of the arts, serving as Chairman of the Trustees of the National Gallery, a Trustee of the Tate and member and then Vice-Chairman of the Arts Council.
