Critical commentary
It has been suggested that D372 may be a preparatory drawing for P182 <i> View of the Wilderness in St. James's Park </i>, Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection, New Haven. The presence of the artist seated under the tree relates it more closely to P182A <i> View of the Wilderness in St James's Park </i>, Private collection England. In any case the resemblance is generic rather than specific and D373 <i> Study for The Wilderness in St James's Park </i>, The British Museum, is compositionally closer to both paintings.
