A pencil and watercolour drawing of a view from the north-west of the Great Lodge (now Cumberland Lodge) in Windsor Great Park. The corner of the house in shadow on the right, with parkland beyond. Numbered '4' in pencil at top centre. Inscribed at lower right in pencil: View Gt Lodge in W[...] Park.
The Great or Cumberland Lodge was the offical residence of William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland as Ranger of the Great Park between 1746 and 1765. In the early 1760s Thomas Sandby was responsible for extending the building with a new north wing.The Sandby brothers made a series of watercolours of the Duke's home and estate that were published as the Eight Views of Windsor Great Park in 1754. The present, loosely washed drawing does not appear to relate to the early set of watercolours, and may be a preliminary study or on-the-spot drawing of the house at a later date.
