THE VALLEY OF THE WASHBURNE, AND LINDLEY BRIDGE.
CIRCA 1818. SIZE 10¾” × 15½".
A view of the Washburne looking north towards Stainburn, taken from a spot near the water-mill shown in the foreground of The Washburne, with Leathley Church (Plate XVII). Lindley Hall appears on the eminence to the right. This drawing is now in the possession of Colonel Lionel G. Fawkes.
THE RIALTO, VENICE.
CIRCA 1820. SIZE 11¼” × 16⅜".
This drawing is frequently mistaken for the original of the engraving of the same subject published in Hakewill’s “Italy” (Rawlinson’s “Engraved Work of J. M. W. Turner,” p. 80), but the differences between the drawing and the engraving are too marked and extensive for this to be possible. The Hakewill drawing was made before Turner visited Venice, from camera obscura sketches by Hakewill. The Farnley drawing was made immediately after Turner’s return from Italy in 1820, from his own sketches. It is interesting as being Turner’s first Venetian picture.
