Peter Stuyvesant Garden

George Stonehill

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a top-down view of a garden plan. The perspective focuses on an aerial layout, showing a grid with symmetrical designs and geometrical patterns. The artwork has clean lines and solid areas of color, resembling a blueprint. The color palette consists of earth tones, greens, muted reds, whites, and blues. The right side features a red-roofed building with pathways, and decorative elements frame the upper portion. In the bottom right, a small house-like structure is next to text reading "The Stuyvesant Garden from the Castello Plan," with the numbers "16" and "60."
