Description: | Mounted with NCM 1947-18
The castle is seen on the hill from a distance. In a field in the foreground a woman holds a child in her arms and they watch three other children flying a kite. To the right two children sit on a white horse and a black horse grazes nearby. Trees on the right hand side are reflected in a small stream below, a fence follows the stream cutting diagonally across the foreground. Washing hangs outside a large house in the centre of the picture and a figure stands to the right. Two men are standing by a wall in front of more houses to the far right and a church can be seen behind them. Six birds fly high in the sky to the centre right.
On the reverse, in pencil - 'Paul Sandby, R.A. View of Nottingham Castle.'
Unsigned. Register: "Purchased ... from W.A. Lewitt ... who bought it, over the counter, from an unknown man who (he said) inherited it from a Yorkshireman, collector and dilettanti, who acquired it in Yorkshire."
