A pencil drawing showing a rooftop scene with two towers, possibly at Osborne. A long thin flag is flying from the central tower and the tower to the left appears to have a large clock face on one side.

The Osborne Estate, on the Isle of Wight, was purchased by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1845. Work was started straight away on rebuilding Osborne House in the Italianate style, to designs by Prince Albert, and the royal family stayed there for lengthy periods each year. While staying at Osborne, Queen Victoria often spent time sketching in the grounds.
