Salisbury Plain with Old Sarum in the Distance, Wiltshire, 1800–1862, Watercolor over graphite with gum arabic and scratching out, sheet: 4 3/4 x 6 15/16 in. (12 x 17.7 cm), Drawings, William Turner of Oxford (British, Black Bourton, Oxfordshire 1789–1862 Oxford), Washes of mauve and blue, dragged so wet across the rough-textured paper that they caused it to buckle slightly, create a darkening sky. Beneath the clouds that fill the largest portion of the sheet, a single figure accompanied by a dog-conveyed with a few brisk black strokes-walks through a field toward a narrow horizon brilliant with white-yellow light
