Introduction:
There is insufficient information to link this Turner to one of the many other miniature painters active at a similar time named Turner. Woodiwiss does however state that he painted silhouettes out of the Upper Western Gallery in Bond Street, based on the evidence of a handbill. A full-length silhouette in black on a roughly painted plaster base, which may date to the 1840s, is the sole known example of Turner’s work.
