Description
The North Terrace was the most popular subject painted by Paul Sandby. He produced quantities of views of the Terrace, looking east or looking west, from the 1760s until his death 50 years later. These exist in a variety of media – oil, bodycolour, watercolour, pencil, aquatint and etched outline. The appearance of the terrace, described in contemporary guidebooks as ‘the noblest walk in Europe’ (Joseph Pote, Les Delices de Windsore, 1763), has changed little since the eighteenth century.
