From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
In Windsor Park is a 1807 watercolor by David Cox, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
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. Look up David Cox next.

Previously held in the collections of Mrs. Rhodes and Mrs. Fitzgerald, the piece was exhibited at the Liverpool Art Club in 1875 and later shown at the Louvre in Paris in 1938.
