Description

A pen and watercolour drawing of an elevation of a thatched cottage, with a circular porch and wings. The porch has garlanded swags and plants. On the verso is a slight architectural sketch, and the inscription 'at Frogmore?' in the hand of J. H. Glover, former Royal Librarian.
The drawing is probably a design for Windsor Great Park, made by Thomas Sandby as Deputy Ranger of Windsor Great Park. Two other similar drawings in the Royal Collection (RCINS 914716 and 914669) have the same inscription on the verso.
Descriptive Medium: 'Pen and ink and watercolour', 'pen and ink', 'watercolour painting'
