"Sketch for 'Shipping'" is a watercolor artwork by Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851), an English Romantic landscape painter, watercolorist, and printmaker. Turner is renowned for his expressive colorization, imaginative landscapes, and turbulent marine paintings. This particular sketch is one of many studies that Turner created in preparation for his more finished works, which often depicted maritime subjects.

The sketch likely dates from Turner's mature period when he had developed a distinctive style characterized by loose brushwork and a masterful handling of light and atmosphere. Turner's shipping sketches often served as preliminary explorations of composition, light, and color for his larger oil paintings or as designs for engravings in projects such as the "Liber Studiorum," a collection of prints that illustrated the breadth of his landscape work.

In "Sketch for 'Shipping'," Turner may have been capturing the interplay of natural elements with human activity, a theme common in his seascapes. The work would have showcased his ability to suggest form and movement with minimal detail, allowing the viewer's eye to complete the scene. As with many of Turner's sketches, the exact location and significance of the depicted scene may not be known, but the emphasis would have been on the atmospheric effects and the dynamic qualities of the sea.

Turner's sketches are held in high regard for their influence on the development of Impressionism and for their contribution to the understanding of his artistic process. "Sketch for 'Shipping'" would be an example of Turner's skill in quickly capturing the essence of a maritime scene, a testament to his lifelong fascination with the sea and its representation in art. The sketch would be part of the extensive collection of Turner's works that are preserved in institutions such as the Tate Britain in London, which houses the Turner Bequest, a large collection of his works left to the nation after his death.

As with all of Turner's sketches, "Sketch for 'Shipping'" would be of interest to scholars and art enthusiasts alike for its demonstration of Turner's working methods and for its place within the broader context of his oeuvre. The artwork would also contribute to the understanding of the 19th-century artistic movements that celebrated nature, emotion, and the sublime.
