partial view

Not fully visible

A partial view shows only part of something, not the whole.

The phrase appears in real estate listings where photos capture fragments of desirable features: partial view of the ocean, partial view of the mountains.

It also describes incomplete perspectives on situations: We only have a partial view of what happened.
