What does the website of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art state about the artwork painted by Joseph Mallord William Turner? (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Turner distilled his ideas about landscape In "Liber Studiorum" (Latin for Book of Studies), a series of seventy prints plus a frontispiece published between 1807 and 1819. To establish the compositions, he made brown watercolor drawings, then etched outlines onto copper plates. Here we see his preliminary work on a plate that William Say later completed using mezzotint. Along a stretch of England's south coast, a road below cliffs recedes toward forts built to defend against a feared Napoleonic invasion. In the foreground a man and woman lead a donkey loaded with panniers and a child, as two hussars follow on horseback. Published states of this print include the letter "M" in the upper margin to indicate Turner's category of Marine landscape.
