Old Wooden Bridge at Windsor" is a historic landscape painting by Paul Sandby, a prominent English map-maker turned landscape painter of the 18th century. Created circa 1770, the artwork is compelling evidence of Sandby's adeptness in portraiture of historical monuments and his unique eye for capturing the essence of the English.

Set in Windsor, England, the painting features its iconic wooden bridge as its prime focus, an important local landmark of that period which has now been replaced by the Windsor Town Bridge. Sandby's remarkable attention to detail endows the piece with realism, adding intricacies such as the shadows on the water, the wood grain of the bridge, and the rustling of leaves in the surrounding landscape.

The medium used is watercolour over an initial sketch, which is characteristic of Sandby's style. He was known for his skill in handling watercolours, making him one of the pioneers of watercolour landscape painting. "The Old Wooden Bridge at Windsor" exemplifies his talent in manipulating the medium to create a sense of depth and shadow.

Sandby's humanisation of the landscape, depicting ordinary people around the bridge engaged in everyday activities, adds an element of social realism to the painting. This inclusion of the human element, combined with his topographically accurate portrayal of the Windsor setting, makes the painting a valuable historical document of 18th century English life and landscape.

"The Old Wooden Bridge at Windsor" is now part of a private collection, having passed through several esteemed hands, including the Duke of Cumberland and the 3rd Duke of Buccleuch. Its outstanding artistic and historical significance make it a notable work in Paul Sandby's repertoire.
