George Stonehill

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a formal garden layout. The artwork illustrates an aerial view of a meticulously designed garden, divided into symmetrical sections featuring geometric patterns and pathways elegantly outlined against a lush green landscape. The upper section of the painting shows a more natural setting with scattered trees and a curving pathway leading to rectangular plots, while the lower section depicts an organized series of square plots with intricate designs. Alongside these, a heraldic emblem is shown, suggesting a coat of arms. The entire layout is bordered with trees.
