Outline Sketch of Mountains (verso, from Sketchbook)

Jervis McEntee

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a grayscale sketchbook with two pages. The left page is blank with a small illegible inscription in the bottom-left corner. The right page contains a pencil sketch of a landscape with mountains. In the foreground, there is a fence and several stone structures. The sketch is simple and appears to be an outline. The book pages are rectangular and have a darker border around the edges. The background of the image is gray with darker shadows around the book. There are two thin white lines, one above and one below the book.
