'An Open Sea', Its Really a Turner Before He Became Turner. Hello?

A JMW Turner painting, 'An Open Sea', may leave Canada for sale in the United States. The picture is owned by a a descendent of Sir Herbert Holt, a businessman who brought it to Canada almost 100 years ago. The sale of the painting was put on stay for a year by the Canadian Cultural Review Board, to see if a Canadian purchaser could be found.
