Rutgers Estate and Garden

Helen Miller

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bird's-eye view of an organized landscape plan. There is no horizon visible as the view is from the top looking down. Structures are centrally located and surrounded by cultivated land and gardens. The brushstrokes in the piece are precise, emphasizing the geometric arrangement of the fields, gardens, and trees. The color palette includes earth tones, with green dominating the grass and crops, complemented by red and orange for trees and floral sections. Linear paths and rows of trees divide the areas within the landscape.
