A watercolour drawing of the Quadrangle in the Upper Ward, Windsor Castle, seen from the east, looking towards the Round Tower. In the centre, a statue of Charles II on a plinth. In the centre foreground, a group of figures and a man on a horse. The sheet of paper is circumscribed with a brown ink line, and is mounted on an orange-brown, blue, yellow and grey wash line bordered mount of a type associated with the collection of Sir Joseph Banks. Inscribed on the verso in pencil, 'Windsor. View of the Royal Court'. Pasted on the verso, a label from Christie's, 19 June 1936. A pencil drawing of the central area is in the Staatliche Museen Greiz (E 474). At this date the Royal Family did not inhabit the apartments in the Quadrangle and it was open to the public. During the alterations of Sir Jeffry Wyatville in 1827, the windows were gothicised; the Rubbish Gate just visible on the far left was closed and the George IV Gate was opened. The statue of Charles II was rotated and reinstalled at the west end of the Quadrangle, facing east. The Round Tower was raised by Wyatville in about 1830.
