<p>This view of the Thames from Richmond Hill reoccurs in Turner's oils, watercolours, pencil sketches and prints over many years. He was evidently fond of the view and had close associations with the  area since he lived near Twickenham  for several years.</p><p>This unassuming study predates his grand, large scale canvas England: Richmond Hill on the Prince Regent's Birthday (shown in room C6). There the same view is populated with incident  and activity.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
