This medium dark blue transfer salad plate features a view of the John Stevens house in Hoboken, New Jersey. This is part of a series of American views by Joesph Stubbs, immediately identifiable by its distinct "Spread Eagle" border.
In the scene, a woman and boy seem to have just stepped out into the garden from an elegant neoclassical country house. The mansion, known as Stevens Villa, was erected in the mid 1780's.
