Picture of tapestry which depicts a view of Windsor Castle. The view is from the same angle and with the same details as in the painting by John O'Connor, but the houses at the front of the Castle mound which are much in existence in the larger tapestry are replaced nearly entirely by bushes in the small picture.
In the foreground the lake with swans also comes from O'Connor, but the rest of the trees, plants and bushes differ.
The picture is surrounded by bands of brown , yellow and tan, and on outer edge of dull dark blue.
