SIR JEFFRY WYATVILLE (1766-1840)

South East View of King George the 4th cottage in Windsor Great Park

c. 1830

RCIN 932768

While Windsor Castle was being renovated, George spent much of his time in a small residence in Windsor Great Park. This ‘cottage’ was extensively remodelled, as the watercolour by the architect Wyatville shows. In this secluded retreat, George gathered together his closest friends and his favourite works of art.
