Windsor Castle from Bishopsgate dated 1792

A watercolour drawing of Windsor Great Park, with several large trees comprising most of the view. Windsor Castle in the distance through the trees. In the middle ground on the right, a cottage behind a fence with cattle. In the foreground, groups of figures including a woman, children and dog with a stick in its mouth, a horse and rider, and horses pulling a cart. The sheet of thin card is circumscribed with a black ink line and grey wash border. Signed in watercolour on the tree trunk to the right: P.S. 1792 Windsor Park.
Sandby rarely dated his earlier works, but several views of Windsor and the surrounding area from the 1790s are dated. This work was acquired with RCIN 917593, also dated 1792.Provenance
