The young Turner first worked in the Plaister Academy, drawing from casts of antique sculpture. In the biography Turner In His Time (1987) Andrew Wilton notes that Turner's name appears fairly frequently in the registers between 21st July 1790 (the earliest record extant) and 8th October 1793. Provenance: Some of the Attendance Books now in the Library of the Royal Academy were once the property of the renowned British collector Charles Fairfax Murray (1849-1919) and bear his Ex-Libris to the inside boards. Upon the dispersal of his large collections, the Registers, with a number of pages removed, were apparently re-acquired by the Royal Academy. The present, previously missing page, were re-discovered in Australia, tipped into an old Victorian album.

CIRCLE OF SIR PETER PAUL RUBENS (FLEMISH 1577 - 1640), THE LION HUNT ink and grey wash on blued paper 31cm x 39cm Framed Framer's label verso: T. W. Earl, 11, Marlborough St., Devonport Provenance:- Ex collection Ardgowan House Note:- This drawing clearly dates from the time of Rubens, early 17th. century, and blued paper was in vogue for drawings at this date. There are elements in it which are similar to the drawing of the same subject, by Rubens, in the collection of the National Gallery. However, in the latter, the spearsman to the left is facing the other way, and there is no palm tree. This is not a copy of any known image of the subject. It is just possible that this is a preliminary study, by Rubens, for the large oil of this subject by him, now in the Alte Pinakethek in Munich.
