<p>This sketchbook stands out among the hundreds in the Tate Turner Bequest for the variety of coloured paper it contains. Mauve, pink, pale blue and green sheets are interleaved between white pages. It was manufactured for the fashionable pastime of scrapbooking – the word ‘Album’ is stamped on the front cover. Turner was no doubt drawn to its different coloured sheets. Here, his nude study in pink contrasts sharply against the green paper.</p><p><em>Gallery label, October 2023</em></p>
