Literature
D. Mannings, Sir Joshua Reynolds, A Complete Catalogue of His Paintings, New Haven and London, 2000, p. 582, 'The view is quite possibly from Richmond Hill, conceivably from a vantage point adjacent to Reynolds's villa, Wick House. There is no evidence, however, to support an attribution to Reynolds'.
