Windsor Castle, Circa 1840 Antique English Topographical 19th Century Watercolour

19th century
Description

A beautiful view of Windsor Castle, dating from circa 1840. Astonishingly, we discovered this watercolour at an auction in La Rochelle, in Brittany! While unsigned, it may be possible to attribute it to George Sidney Shepherd (1784-1867).

Shepherd was a topographical and landscape painter who specialised in watercolours. He lived in France until 1797, returning to Britain at the outbreak of the revolutionary wars. He would come to focus on townscapes and, in particular, views of London in his practice. Measuring 19 x 27 cm at sight, the overall size in an antique pine frame is 35 x 44 cm.

In a separate listing, please find a pendant to the work by the same hand, dated 1840 and situated Highgate.
