Provenance: The collection of William Bateson (1861-1926). Private Collection, UK (by descent). Note: Cotman was a central member of the Norwich School of artists, having enjoyed the patronage of Dr Thomas Monro (1759-1833), through whom he encountered J.M.W.

The present work recalls a sketch which sold at Lyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh, on 19 March 2025, lot 77 (£2,898), and another study of a tree, which exhibits the same distinctive hatching visible in the present drawing, which sold at Christie's, London, 5 July 2022, lot 103 (£5,040).
