An original, bright 18th-century view of gardens in London, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. The scene portrays the splendid English gardens in front of the palace at the back of the painting. The great open space dominates, with people strolling along the broad avenues on a fine sunny day. Further to the right is a second London palace.
The sky has a few clouds on the horizon with shades of pink, but the day is serene. The work, an oil on canvas, is dated 1749.
