View of Longleat is a 1690 oil by Johannes Siberechts, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a grand, three-story house with many windows and a large garden. The house has a staircase leading up to the front door and a fountain in the center of the garden. People are walking around the garden, and horses and carriages are parked in front of the house. The painting is very detailed, with lots of small things to look at. You can see the different textures of the house, the garden, and the clothes people are wearing. The colors are muted, with lots of greens, browns, and grays.
