Original and luminous eighteenth-century view of Somerset House, painted by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto, in watercolor on paper. In the foreground, we can see the villa's beautiful gardens, maintained in the London style, and the walled bank of the Thames, traversed by boats. The villa is further in the background, seen frontally, with tree-lined avenues. The gardens are filled with people, depicting scenes of everyday life. The day is clear and the sky is serene, with a few white clouds on the horizon.
The work is undated. Another variant of this work by Canaletto exists.
