Compositional sketch for a landscape with two prominent towers

Artist: Hill, David Octavius, RSA · 1802-1870

The location is not identified, but the two towers suggest possibly Durham Cathedral (the two towers at the west end can from certain angles appear as one) being allocation visited and painted by Hill on several occasions.
