Notes: The present drawing was executed at Dunkerque in 1824. There is a related study for the figure furthest to the left in a dismantled sketchbook in the Biblioteque Nationale, Paris. There are other similar studies of buildings and high dunes, characteristic of Dunkerque, amongst the group of drawings in Paris.
