<p>During the later 1820s, Turner began  to use of sheets of blue paper for his personal studies. The more informal  of these studies are now exhibited as individual works. However, in many  cases they were in fact created by  Turner across the surface of much  larger pieces of paper that he folded into sixteen sections. Evidence of this working practice is still discernible in these two drawings. Turner has used the same colours in each to evoke the twilight.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
