This is a drawing of a formal garden layout. The image depicts an intricately designed garden with symmetrical patterns, divided into distinct sections with different planting schemes. Each segment of the garden is enclosed by structured hedges or pathways, and features both geometric and floral designs. The illustration includes pathways leading to and from small structures that resemble pavilions or garden buildings. The greenery is juxtaposed with patches of colorful plants. In the lower right corner, there is an inscription that reads "The Stuyvesant Garden from the Castello Plan" with the year "1660." The borders of the drawing include detailed sketches of various botanical elements.
