Summary "The Water-Colours of J. M. W. Turner" by W. G. Rawlinson and A. J. Finberg is an art collection and analysis published in the early 20th century. This work examines and reproduces the masterful water-colour drawings of renowned British artist J. M. W. Turner, whose artistic career spanned the late 18th to the mid-19th century.
