Is it a trompe l'oeil ? Hard to tell from a photo but think it might be?

I keep meaning to have a go at one of those!

It is indeed! There are a couple of other paintings in there that are at least veering towards it, as well.

I spotted that - though I'm not sure whether this was simply power of observation, all the reading I did about William Kent's use of the method at Kensington Palace when I was writing my thesis, or the number of times I've watched William Hartnell and co make their way around the Dalek city on the latter's first appearance in Doctor Who.

Well spotted!

That's a very nice piece of trompe l'oeil - very, very, nice.

It is well done, isn't it.

Oh, that's clever! If it wasn't for the too-casual small dog and broom I don't think I'd've twigged what was going on :-)

Even without the extra layer of confusion provided by the camera, it really is pretty good.
