It was first planned in 1804 and was originally a commission that fell through. [2] The painting was likely to have been first exhibited at Turner's studio in Queen Anne Street in London in 1805. It was later submitted to the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1813 at Somerset House. [3] Part of the Turner Bequest of 1856, it is now in the collection of the Tate Britain, in Pimlico. [4]
