Description

A watercolour drawing of the north front of Windsor Castle, seen from Datchet Lane near Romney Lock. On the left, the Castle is seen behind a lane with a brick wall. On the right, several large trees and the river. In the foreground, a soldier and a woman are walking along the river. In the centre, a horse and cart and several more figures. A man fishing on the right. The sheet of paper is partially circumscribed with a black ink line, and is mounted on a yellow and grey wash line bordered mount of a type associated with the Paul Sandby estate sale in 1811. Inscribed on the mount below in pencil, 'Windsor from Datchet Road'.
The view is taken from beside the bridge over the stream between Lower Romney Island and the Windsor bank, next to the King's Engine House. The stretches of water around Romney Island were popular with fishermen in Sandby's time.
