Description
A view of the facade of Kew Palace from the lawn, with figure strolling and gardeners working at center and left and a flock of sheep at right. A line of potted line the lawn at left. This is a copy, with the printmaker and date not given, of an etching by William Woollett after Joshua Kirby titled "A VIew of the Palace at Kew, from the Lawn." The latter appears in William Chambers, "Plans, Elevations, Sections, and Perspective Views of the Gardens and Buildings at Kew in Surry," 1763 (MMA: 52.519.86) and is one of eight views of the park designed by Kirby for that volume.
