Description

A watercolour of the gardens at the south front of the Deputy Ranger's House in Windsor Great Park. A woman is watering plant pots at the centre, with other figures walking on the left. Mounted on a sheet of grey paper, circumscribed with a black line.
Thomas Sandby took up residence in a former dairy in Windsor Great Park in about 1770, and extended the building considerably to his own designs. During the 1790s Paul Sandby made a number of studies of the house and gardens, as well as those of his son at Englefield Green. In 1786 Paul Sandby's son Thomas Paul married his cousin Harriet, and the couple settled at the Deputy Ranger's Lodge. It has been suggested that the apparent presence of figures in mourning dress implies a date of June 1798, after the death of Thomas Sandby.
