A pencil, pen and ink and grey wash design for a highly ornamental villa. Inscribed on the verso, 'Mrs Jenning's Windsor Park', and 'by Nash' in a later hand.
The drawing is by Humphrey Repton and relates to his plans for Holly Grove, a property in Windsor Great Park bought by Lady Jennings Clerke in 1792. Repton put together designs to transform the house into a building with elements inspired by both Chinese and Indian architectural motifs. Buildings in this 'chinoiserie' style were highly fashionable at this date, as exemplified by the Royal Pavilion at Brighton. However, Repton's designs were not carried out. The building is now known as Forest Lodge. -
