About the piece

This early watercolor by J.M.W. Turner captures a tranquil view from the Isola Borromena on Lago Maggiore. Painted around 1795, the work showcases Turner's nascent interest in atmospheric light and misty distances, with small vessels scattered across the still water against a backdrop of soft, layered Alpine peaks.
