A pencil drawing of buildings in an unknown location, perhaps at the back of a house. A view showing the exterior of a group of buildings with arched windows, chimneys, with several lean-tos and tiled roofs. Inscribed 'A drawing by the Queen, 1768, wh. she threw away'. Described on the inventory of items donated by Percy Fitzgerald, 9 October 1901, 'Original Drawing by the Queen, 1768, picked up by Bishop Percy'.

Bishop Thomas Percy was chaplain to George III from 1769 onwards, and his wife was wet-nurse to the Queen Charlotte and George III's son, the Duke of Kent. Mrs Percy resided at Kew and Buckingham House from 1767-68.  

Pyne records that Queen Charlotte drew throughout her life, although little of her work survives. She evidently passed on this enthusiasm to her daughters, for whom copying the works of Old Masters and contemporary artists, and designing schemes for interior decoration, was an absorbing pursuit for many years. In 1785 Mrs Delany recorded spending evenings at the Queen’s Lodge in Windsor when the Queen and her daughters would ‘sit around a large table, on which are books, work, pencils and paper . . . the youngest part of the family are drawing and working’.
