Description

A bodycolour drawing, laid on panel, of Windsor Castle seen from the west. A large tree on the left, cattle and horses in the fields in the foreground, and a couple conversing at a fence. Inscribed on the back of the panel, 'Windsor Castle from the West. Paul Sandby RA 1802', and a Colnaghi label and an auction indication, apparently July 3/72 [N]o 56 or 50. The view is the same as RCIN 914602 by Thomas Sandby. A bodycolour copy of a similar view by Prince Ernest Augustus is in the Royal Collection and is possibly evidence that an earlier derivation of this composition was used as a model in one of Sandby's drawing lessons to the young prince.
