THE GREAT FALL OF THE REICHENBACH; IN THE VALLEY OF HASLE, SWITZERLAND. SIGNED AND DATED “J. M. W. TURNER, R.A., 1804.” SIZE 40” × 27". Painted from sketches made in 1802. Exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1815, under the above title, together with two other Farnley drawings, viz., _The Passage of Mount St. Gothard_ and _Lake of Lucerne_.] [Illustration: PLATE X. CONISTON LAKE AND OLD MAN. CIRCA 1816-1818. SIZE 19½” × 25½". This drawing is executed in body-colour on brown paper. Mr. Ruskin’s house and grounds stand not far from the spot from which it was made.] [Illustration: PLATE XI. THE BANKS OF THE WASHBURNE. CIRCA 1818. SIZE 13¼” × 16¼". This drawing is executed in body-colour on brown paper. It shows a bend of the Washburne about a mile from Farnley Hall. Leathley Church stands a little to the left, just out of the picture. In the distance is seen the rocky crest of the Otley Chevin, with Caley Park on the slopes below. The banks are now covered with a dense growth of trees, entirely obliterating the view of the river. This drawing is based on a small pencil-sketch in the “Hastings” sketch-book (CXXXIX, pp. 35a & 36).] [Illustration: PLATE XII. THE LAKE OF BRIENZ--MOONLIGHT. SIGNED “J. M. W. TURNER, R.A.” CIRCA 1804. SIZE 11” × 15½". The pencil-sketch of this view, made in Switzerland in 1802, is in the National Gallery (LXXVII, p. 34). It has an “F” written in ink in the corner, evidently put there when Mr. Fawkes ordered this drawing. There is also a colour-study in the same collection (LXXX, E.). The blue has slightly faded in this drawing, but the general effect remains harmonious and very impressive.] [Illustration: PLATE XIII. BOLTON ABBEY, FROM THE SOUTH. CIRCA 1812. SIGNED “J. M. W. TURNER, R.A.” SIZE 11¼” × 15½". There are a number of pencil-drawings of Bolton Abbey in the “Devonshire Rivers, No. 3, and Wharfedale” sketch-book (cxxxiv). The water-mark of this sketch-book is 1811, so the date of the sketches may be a year or two later.] [Illustration: PLATE XIV. THE COLOSSEUM, ROME. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED “COLLICEUM, ROME, J. M. W. TURNER, 1820.” SIZE 11” × 15½". Based on the pencil-drawing (“Rome: C. Studies,” CLXXXIX, p. 23) made in Rome in 1819.] [Illustration: PLATE XV. HIRZENACH. DATE 1817. SIZE 8⅜” × 12½". One of the Rhine series. This drawing is executed in water-colour on white paper, but a grey preparation was washed over the paper before the painting was commenced. Hirzenach is near St. Goar, where Turner is known to have been on the 23rd, 24th and 27th of August, 1817. There are sketches of Hirzenach and the neighbourhood in the “Waterloo and Rhine” sketch-book (CXL).] [Illustration: PLATE XVI. UPPER FALLS OF THE REICHENBACH: RAINBOW. CIRCA 1818. SIZE 11⅛” × 15¾".
