Unsigned; no inscription
The uncertain and generalised facture argue a late date
Booth noted: 'Qu[ery] on the Anio Maecenas Villa in distance' (Doc. 9, p. 1, no. 4)
E72/34 Thomas Hastings after Wilson, Untitled (Tower and Broken Bridge), The British Museum (1854,0708.91)
Possible pendant: P191 Tower by a Lake, Private Collection, England.
Stylistically this seems to be a work from Wilson's last years, perhaps a pendant of P191.
