Description

A bodycolour drawing of the Bishopsgate entrance to Windsor Great Park, with groups of figures, geese and carriages. In the background on the right behind large trees bordering the road to Englefield Green, a large red house. On the left an inn with a fence and poplars. Signed below on the root of a tree, 'P Sandby 1801'. The entry in Sandby's estate sale records that the view shows the house of Penyston Portlock Powney, Ranger of the Little Park and MP for Windsor. Powney sold the lease of the Rectorial Manor of Old Windsor in 1786 to Henry Isherwood.
