拍品專文

Within easy reach of Towne's home in Exeter, Chudleigh is five miles or so south-east of Canonteign along the River Teign. It is close to Ugbrooke Park, the home of Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, for whom Towne had worked in the 1770s. The falls at Chudleigh Rock were a popular beauty spot, and were visited by John Herman Merivale, later the owner of this drawing, in 1805.
We are grateful to Timothy Wilcox and Dr Richard Stephens for their help in preparing this catalogue entry.
