Summary

Oil painting on canvas, Teignmouth Harbour, Devon, by Joseph Mallord William Turner, RA (London 1775 - Chelsea 1851). A circa 1812 scene by J.M.W. Turner of Teignmouth Harbour (TATE/T03882). In the left foreground is a girl driving a black and a white cow into the shallow water. At right are two old hulls, one behind the other, with skeleton ribs against the sky. Below the nearer hull is a sailor in a smack mending a sail. In the left mid-distance is the high bank of the Teign, with a ruined abbey at the foot and a square tower on the summit at left of centre. In the centre distance is the town, with shipping in the harbour and the sea beyond.

Provenance

Bought by the 3rd Earl of Egremont (1751-1837) perhaps from Turner's (1775-1851) Gallery in 1812. Thence by descent, until the death in 1952 of the 3rd Lord Leconfield, who had given Petworth to the National Trust in 1947, and whose nephew and heir, John Wyndham, 6th Lord Leconfield and 1st Lord Egremont (1920-72) arranged for the acceptance of the major portion of the collections at Petworth in lieu of death duties (the first ever such arrangement) in 1956 by HM Treasury. Accepted by HM Government in lieu of inheritance tax. Allocated to Tate in 1984 and on long-term loan from Tate to the National Trust at Petworth.

Credit line

Accepted by HM Government in lieu of tax and allocated to the Tate Gallery 1984. In situ at Petworth House
