<p>Some of Turner’s freely executed seascapes relate to finished, more detailed works. This preparatory study lays down the main tonal and compositional elements of a watercolour painting, Folkestone Harbour and Coast to Dover about 1829. The lighter area on the left corresponds to the line of cliffs extending into the distance.</p><p>The watercolour was subsequently engraved as part of the topographical published series, Picturesque Views in England and Wales (see print on display nearby).</p><p><em>Gallery label, July 2008</em></p>
