- Curator's comments
- Study for a drawing in watercolour with bodycolour in Norwich Castle Museum, datable c.1835-39. The mainly monochrome tonality is a feature of Cotman's very late work, after he had turned away from what he himself came to see as the 'gaudy' colours of the 1820s and early 1830s.
