From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
The Garden Front of Mr Robert Vernon's House at Twickenham is a 1840 watercolor by John James Chalon, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour shows a garden view of Marble Hill Cottage on the River Thames around 1840. The house, long gone, was once a summer home for art collector Robert Vernon. Vernon gave 157 paintings to the nation in 1847. Most now hang at Tate Britain. The artist John James Chalon painted this scene, though people once thought his brother made it.
