A watercolour showing a view of a lake, probably on the Osborne Estate. The lake is shown in the foreground to the right, surrounded by trees. White buildings are shown in the background, possibly belonging to Osborne House.
Inscribed lower left: July - 1855.

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.
