An original and luminous 18th-century depiction of the Old Horse Guards and the Banqueting Hall in London, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the great English garden, filled with noblemen and ladies in scenes of everyday life. Further back we can see the two buildings of the Old Horse Guards and the Banqueting Hall, in English architectural style. On either side of the garden Canaletto paints tree-lined avenues. The sky is clear, but there are a few pink clouds on the horizon at sunset.
The painting, an oil on canvas, is dated 1749. Another variant of this work exists in a private collection.
