Puget Sound (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white pencil drawing on paper of a landscape. The left side of the paper features a steep cliff with trees. The right side depicts a body of water with a mountain range in the background. The cliff on the left side descends to the water on the right. Three people sit on the shoreline facing the water. A forest sits between the cliff and the people on the shoreline. The water appears to have small waves on its surface. The entire drawing is in shades of gray with no color present. A faint inscription in cursive appears in the bottom-left corner.
