Critical commentary
This is a very freely worked compositional study. In the 1916 <i>Burlington Fine Arts Club</i> catalogue, it was noted that the old mount bore a signature: <span class="italic">R. Wilson</span>, and that D 4664 could be compared with several Italian studies in the Dyce collection at South Kensington, in which similar tinted paper was employed. Such works include D361A <i>Landscape: Road winding past Ruins of a Castle</i> (DYCE.645).
