<p>These works are part of a large group  of studies produced during Turner's visit  to Petworth in 1827. This grand country house, to the south-west of London,  was the principal home of Lord Egremont. He was a wealthy patron of contemporary art, who allowed artists to use Petworth  as an open studio.</p><p>The vivid impressions preserved in Turner's drawings show the relaxed nature of social gatherings at the house. Some focus on the intimacies of the bedrooms. These suggest either that Turner overstepped the bounds of decency, or that he delighted in creating fantasies about his fellow guests.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
