A watercolour drawing of the western approach to the Norman Gate, Windsor Castle. On the right, behind a low brick wall is the Moat Garden. On the left is the Magazine Tower, within the curtain wall. In front is a one-legged old woman wearing a red cloak and hat, carrying a basket and leaning on a stick. A faint pencil outline of the same figure is slightly behind. Inscribed on the verso in pencil, possibly in the artist's hand, 'West Entrance (into) the Great Court'. Some areas of the architecture have been drawn with a ruler. The sheet is circumscribed with a black ink line and yellow wash border, and mounted on a green, grey and black ink and wash-lined mount of a type associated with watercolours from the collection of Sir Joseph Banks. For other mounts of this type, see RCINs 914553, 914555 and 914552. A pencil drawing of the same subject from slightly further back is in the Royal Collection (RCIN 914533), dated 1777. There is also an outline etching of the same view and date (for example, British Museum 1904,0819.589). The woman with basket and walking stick appears, from another angle, in RCIN 918986. The two Towers of the Norman Gateway and the facades of the houses in the Moat Garden were remodelled by Sir Jeffrey Wyatville in the nineteenth century.
