Description

A pencil and watercolour drawing of a girl in a red dress and yellow shawl, barefoot and seated in a cottage or kitchen interior. She is holding a flagon in one hand. On the table is a basket, with a bucket on the floor below. A diamond-patterned window behind. Inscribed below on the modern mount, probably copied from an earlier one, 'A cottage girl, at Wynnstay'. According to T. P. Sandby's Memoir, his father first visited Wynnstay, the seat of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, in about 1770.
