West India Company's Garden

Helen Miller

National Gallery of Art

The image displays geometric shapes and precise lines forming a structured pattern of rectangles and squares outlined in green and beige tones. This abstract composition resembles an aerial view of a meticulously organized garden or park, with areas divided into small, symmetrical sections resembling plots or flower beds. The central pathway connects various sections resembling garden plots or courts. Small structures resembling houses or pavilions are placed at the top and bottom edges. The grid-like pattern and symmetrical designs give an impression of a planned landscape.
