An original and luminous 18th-century view of London gardens, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. The scene portrays the splendid English gardens in front of the palace at the far end of the painting. People stroll along the broad avenues on a fine sunny day. Further back is a second London palace. The sky shows a few clouds on the horizon, drawn by Canaletto with shades of pink, but the day remains fine.
The work, an oil on canvas, is dated 1747.
