{A note in Kitson's hand, regarding a small seascape with a Dutch lugger (with flag) by Cotman}
Mr. Perry sent the painting, a small landscape c. 6" x 8", on board. There was a Dutch lugger (with flag) in foreground, a very green sea & a light blue sky, with white clouds. Some other shipping in distance, including a brig with full sail. It seemed to me later & more smoothly painted than Cotman.
The label on back had
"J.S. Cotman"
