A charming view of Worcester with the Cathedral seen across the rooftops, behind a pottery, with the river to the right, with horses, carts and boats, and a family gathered on the shore with barrels and crates, one labelled "P. Sandby 1778". The colouring is early and fine, and the backing sheet is old.
