Description: | Distant view of Windsor Castle, which is to the left of the painting. The left side of the foreground shows a meadow, with cattle under the shade of a tall tree. Further back are grazing sheep and behind them is a boundary wall and a line of trees. To the foreground right is the Thames, with a man on a punt that is leaving the bank. In the far distance a bridge is sketched.
Inscribed in pencil on the reverse "Windsor Castle from the Thames". Sir Charles Rich (donor's husband d. <1935) 'descended on his mother's side from the Sandbys ... was the last surviving relative of the family. He had pictures given him by various members of the family - and inherited some from Mr. William Sandby who lent a number to the 'Special Exhibition of Drawings and Pictures by Paul & Thomas Sandby [Castle Mus. 1884]'
