Cleveland Museum of Art

A pencil drawing on off-white paper depicts a mountainous landscape. In the foreground, a man wearing 18th-century attire and a hat sits on a rock; he is accompanied by another figure, who stands and gestures. The man sitting wears a long-sleeved shirt and breeches. The standing figure wears a long-sleeved shirt and breeches with a hat. The man sitting rests an elbow on his knee. The two figures are positioned on the right. Trees and bushes are on both sides. The background features a large glacier with surrounding mountains and a cloudy sky. More mountains and trees are on the horizon. There are a few houses on the left side. The entire scene is rendered in detailed pencil lines.
