A grey wash drawing showing a two-storeyed thathed tower. The tower is shown surrounded by trees.
This drawing is one of a uniform series of 51 grey wash landscape vignettes at Windsor by Princess Elizabeth. These served as patterns for the decoration on the pages of the bound manuscript catalogue (now at Greiz) of her collection of engravings after portraits by Joshua Reynolds, commenced in 1792; both the catalogue of the prints and the decoration were in Princess Elizabeth’s hand.
