Sketchbook, page 05: "Bethel ME Aug 19th"

Sanford Robinson Gifford

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tan, aged paper with three landscape sketches in graphite. The top sketch depicts a very faint scene of a distant tree-lined shore with gentle hills. The middle sketch shows a landscape with trees on the left and a field on the right; a house and several people are drawn on the left side; some illegible writing is on the right. The bottom sketch features trees on the left and right, and a body of water in the center, with indistinct hills in the background. The sketches are separated by thin, straight lines. The edge of a fourth sketch is visible at the bottom. The background behind the paper is dark gray.
