Dutch West India Company

Helen Miller

National Gallery of Art

The image is a top-down view of a garden layout. The perspective is directly overhead, showing a design with rectangular and geometrical sections filled with various plant arrangements. A small structure with a blue roof and white walls is located near the top center, with another similar edifice to its right. The brushstrokes are clean and precise, with an earthy color palette and hints of reds and blues. The outer border of the garden is marked by a darker brown line. The title reads "Dutch West India Company Experimental Garden."
