About this work

David Cox painted In Windsor Park in 1807. He used watercolour, a medium he helped make respected. The scene shows Windsor but nods to 17th-century artist Gaspard Dughet.

Cox admired Dughet’s landscapes and copied his oil paintings early on. That influence shows up in this work. It’s one of Cox’s first known views of Windsor.
