Painting by J. M. W. Turner
Frosty Morning is an 1813 landscape painting by the British artist J. M. W. Turner . Based on a sketch made when Turner was journeying to Yorkshire and the coach paused.[ 1] It depicts a bright but frosty early morning in winter and group of men clearing a ditch at the side of the road. The girl in the painting, with a hare stole around her shoulders, is believed to be modelled on Turner's eldest daughter Evelina.[ 2]
It was exhibited at the Royal Academy's 1813 Summer Exhibition at Somerset House , where it was his most successful work.[ 3] John Constable 's friend and patron John Fisher considered it the only work on display that year better than Constable's own paintings, describing it as a "picture of pictures".[ 4] In 1818 Turner valued the work at 350 guineas but did not sell it.[ 5] Part of the Turner Bequest of 1856, it is today in the collection of the Tate Britain .[ 6]
