• Attributions / conjectures
  
  Through a mis-transcription of the inscription on the reverse of the watercolour, this work has been wrongly said to have belonged to Daniel Berry.
  
  David Berry was a client of solicitor Dr James Norton. The artist of the watercolour remains unidentified. It bears some similarity to the work of Edward Close: see PXE 868 in this catalogue.
