Charles Frederick William Mielatz’s “Castle Garden” is a striking depiction of a bustling New York City harbor scene, likely an etching or drypoint. The artist captures the unique character of the city’s waterfront, highlighting the Castle Garden building with its distinctive dome, the harbor’s activity with various ships and boats, and even a glimpse of a horse-drawn carriage on the pier. Created by a prominent artist who specialized in urban scenes of New York and its surroundings, this artwork showcases Mielatz’s meticulous detail and use of light and shadow to create a dynamic visual narrative.
