Lot Essay

William Marlow was apprenticed to the topographical and marine painter Samuel Scott (c. 1702-1772) in the 1750s and is best known for his London views. He visited the Continent between 1765 and 1766 and produced a large number of landscape drawings on the tour. The present landscape is a romantic capriccio.
