About this work

You see a sunny day at Hampton Court Palace: red brick, tall windows, and a long gravel drive leading to the entrance. This painting is one of the few that show the palace before the Victorians added towers and fancy stonework. The artist stood far enough back to include the whole building, so the trees look like tiny broccoli florets.
