A pencil and watercolour drawing of a girl in a red dress and yellow shawl, barefoot and seated in a cottage or kitchen interior. She is holding a flagon in one hand. On the table is a basket, with a bucket on the floor below. A diamond-patterned window behind. Inscribed below on the modern mount, probably copied from an earlier one, 'A cottage girl, at Wynnstay'.

Sandby made a number of visits to the estate of Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn at Wynnstay, the first of which was in 1770, during which he made many sketches and views of north Wales, and gave drawing lessons to Williams-Wynn's children. A drawing of Paul Sandby sketching by William Parry, another artist patronised by Williams-Wynn, is also in the Royal Collection and must have been made around the same time (913550). The combination of sepia wash and pencil appears to have been adopted by Sandby in the 1770s and later. Other drawings of people and life on the Wynnstay estate are 914518, 914444, 914364 and a view of the house is 451580. A set of twelve aquatints of views of North Wales were published 'under the patronage of the Hon. Sir W.W. Wynn Bart' in 1776. A set of watercolours for these prints were at Sotheby's in 2019. Five views of north Wales were also included in Sandby's set of 150 Select Views.
