Parkland Scene with Reflecting Pool
View through Harvard Museums
Through an opening in the trees appears an expansive view of the garden with sculpture, potted plants, and fountains. The rectangular reflecting pool creates a perspectival axis leading to the palace, but this is no longer at the center of the panel because the tapestry has been cut down.
