This sheet is similar to the work Cotman was making in 1818-1819 for his Excursions in Norfolk and Excursions in Suffolk. For a comparable albeit more worked-up drawing see 'Holt Heath' in the Yale Center for British Art (B1978.33.1). We are grateful to Tim Wilcox for his help cataloguing this drawing.
