Sketchbook, page 34: Landscape Study

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

A landscape drawing in a sketchbook, depicting a vast landscape under a cloudy sky. The sky takes up most of the drawing and is filled with dark and light gray clouds. The landscape in the foreground is a flat area with darker shading towards the horizon, where a low hill or mountain range is visible. Several tiny figures of people are scattered in the lower left part of the landscape. The drawing is done in pencil on paper, with visible sketch marks and lines. The edges of the paper are slightly yellowed and worn.
