Hampton Court Palace: The Garden Front is a 1777 watercolor by Thomas Rowlandson, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a view of Hampton Court Palace from the garden side. It's a watercolour work with detailed buildings and trees. The artist paid attention to the palace's architecture. The painting gives us a glimpse of what the palace looked like a long time ago. It's interesting because it shows the garden and the buildings in a quiet moment. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, look into the technique: chiaroscuro.
