Description

A bodycolour drawing of the north east corner of Windsor Castle from below, in the Little Park, during a thunderstorm. At the centre of the drawing, a white zig-zag line signifies lightning. In the lower left corner, a terrified horse has broken loose. On the right, several large trees. The sheet of paper is circumscribed with a black line, and mounted on a gold and black wash-line bordered mount, possibly trimmed. Inscribed on the verso in pencil, possibly in the artist's hand, 'North side of Windsor Castle from the Home Park'. Pasted on the verso, an exhibition label from the International Exhibition, 1862, no. 825.
