Helen Miller

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting depicting the "Cheesebrough Homestead" with an aerial view illustrating the layout of a house, surrounding gardens, and pathways. The house is centrally positioned with neatly organized pathways branching out to various sections of the property. Lush green trees are scattered around the area. At the top of the layout, there is a formal garden with rectangular beds filled with flowers in various colors. To the right, there is a circular planting area and a small circular structure. On the lower right, there is a gazebo covered with climbing plants and crowned by a tree growing from within. The artwork’s colors are soft pastels, giving a serene and harmonious feel to the overall design.
