Ketteltas Estate

Helen Miller

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an aerial view of a geometric garden by the "East River." The garden includes a large square section with symmetrical pathways and hedge designs, along with circular and triangular elements, highlighted by clusters of trees. Adjacent to this is a smaller triangular garden with similar geometric pathways. Near the gardens is a rectangular building with a flat roof, facing its entrance steps. The scene has a harmonious color palette and uses precise brushstrokes to define the garden's design.
