Queens' Terrace, Windsor is a 1940 watercolor by Fairclough, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a row of tall, narrow houses with steep roofs and big windows. A tree stands in the foreground, its branches loose and dark. The street is quiet, with a puddle in the road and a bicycle leaning against one building. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the buildings’ details—like the gabled roofs and small doors. It feels like a moment frozen in time, almost like a quick note from a traveler.
