<p>Using swift but precise flicks of his brush loaded with bright colour Turner depicts a vase spilling over with flowers. Other studies by him suggest that this floral arrangement was a prop being used by fellow artist William Beechey to paint the portrait Mrs Hasler as Flora, which remains at Petworth House. This watercolour is unique in the Turner Bequest. Turner rarely made still life studies and no others of flowers are to be found in the sketchbooks and drawings he left behind in his studio.</p><p><em>Gallery label, October 2023</em></p>
