Description

A watercolour drawing of the west end of St. George's Chapel with the entrance to the Horseshoe Cloister and the north end of Crane's building on the left. At the far left, a pair of figures are conversing. Two tall chimney stacks are at the centre right, and at the far right the corner of St. George's Chapel is partially obscured by a tree. Inscribed on the verso in pencil, possibly in the artist's hand, 'Windsor. View of the Apartments of poor Knights on the Lower Foundation and entrance to the Singing Men's Cloister'.
Crane's Building was erected in 1657-8 for Military Knights' accommodation, and demolished in 1863. The entrance to Horseshoe Cloister, accommodation for the layclerks, was remodelled under Sir Gilbert Scott in 1870.
