View of the Castle of La Batiaz, near Martigny in Switzerland, titled and dated August 31, 1776 on the verso. Richard Payne Knight took Cozens on a tour of Switzerland in 1776, and most of the resulting views are now in the British Museum. John Platt has written "This identical drawing by John Robert Cozens was copied by J. M. W. Turner (probably at Dr. Munro's)" in pencil beneath the image. The Turner watercolour he refers to is held by the V&A.
