A watercolour drawing of Windsor Great Park, with Windsor Castle seen through trees and down a wooded slope. In the foreground a man on horseback and a woman gathering sticks. Smoke ascending from behind two sheds, possibly from lime kilns in the Park. A. P. Oppé has suggested the influence of John Robert Cozens (1752-1797), whose father Alexander Cozens (1717-1786) taught drawing to the children of George III.
