View from the West Front of the Rectory House, Withyham Sussex is a 1804 watercolor by Repton,, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting shows a serene landscape with rolling hills and trees. In the foreground, a cow stands near a body of water, with more cows in the distance. The scene is set against a backdrop of hills and fields, with a church steeple visible in the distance. The painting's use of soft colours and gentle brushstrokes creates a sense of tranquility, drawing the viewer's eye to the peaceful scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the light filters through the trees and reflects off the water.
