Curator’s description:

Description

This drawing was not catalogued explicitly by Ruskin, although it may be one of the 'series of leaves from a Norwegian sketch-book by Miss Lilian [sic] Trotter' listed as being in the Long Cabinet by Cook and Wedderburn (XXI.306). The imprecision of Cook and Wedderburn's description of the cabinet mean that it has been given an arbitrary number within the cabinet for the purposes of the current catalogue.
