Description: | "Classical Landscape with Ruined Tower"
The ruined tower stands on the right bank of a body of water, with trees to the right. In the foreground left, large then smaller boulders cause the water to foam and lead the eye over to the left bank. At the right foreground, a man on horse and another on foot walk towards the ruins. The sun is setting on mountains in the distance which are seen in a soft yellow light.
On reverse, in pencil 'Part of Chepstow Castle', 'No. 4', In pen - 'Paul Sa[nd]by...[..]' partly obscured by old mounting.
Unsigned 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]'
