<p>This could come from the same group of oil studies on millboard as such Italian subjects as Nos. 318–27, which are here tentatively dated to Turner's second Italian visit of 1828–9, but there is nothing specifically Italian about this scene and it is probably an independent work executed in England. In handling it is close to certain sketches on <a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/c/canvas" title="Glossary definition for 'Canvas'"><span>canvas</span></a> such as No. 275 [<a class="acno-pop" data-gtm-destination="page--artwork" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/turner-seascape-with-a-sailing-boat-and-a-ship-n05520" title="View the details of this artwork"><span>N05520</span></a>] and like that work probably dates from the later 1820s.</p>
