<p>This pair of unfinished paintings are thought to show the arrival in Portsmouth of French king Louis-Philippe for his state visit to Queen Victoria. The subject shows Turner’s ongoing commitment to painting contemporary life and major national events. He also had a personal connection to Louis-Philippe. The two had met in the 1810s when the French king was living in exile at Twickenham, to the southwest of London, where Turner had built himself a house, in the 1810s. Contact between them was renewed in the mid-1830s and Turner was invited to dine with the King at his château at Eu in 1845.</p><p><em>Gallery label, October 2023</em></p>

This example is typical of a number of Turner's later works in the way in which the spectator is drawn into the picture between serried rows of staring faces, running the gauntlet, as it were, of the frenzied inhabitants of Turner's imaginative world. It was formerly called ‘After the Ball(?)’.</p>
