- Curator's comments
- This watercolour was examined by Andrew Wilton in July 2003, and not considered the work of Turner. It has affinities with watercolours produced by John Henderson and artists associated with him in the 'Monro Academy'. It is not known whether Henderson himself went to Paris, particularly, in view of the political situation, during the 1790s, the period when this watercolour would appear to have been painted. It may well prove to be a copy from a printed source, but at present none has been identified.
