Depeyster Estate and Garden

Helen Miller

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bird's-eye view of a meticulously organized garden plot. A border of dense foliage lines the bottom left, leading to garden beds arranged in rectangles filled with various colored patches. Orchards with evenly spaced, circular green trees are visible, some bearing red, orange, or purple fruits. A structure is located in the top left corner, surrounded by green patches. Pathways create a grid-like structure around the building. The artwork uses a flat, stylized technique with smooth brushstrokes. The color palette consists of shades of green, soft earth tones, and vibrant hues from the plants.
