Landscape with Tower (from McGuire Scrapbook)

Thomas Cole

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a tall tower on a rocky shoreline. The tower is cylindrical and has a flat top with a railing around it. A small flag is flying at the top. The tower appears to be made of stone and has several windows along its side. In front of the tower, there are several large rocks and boulders scattered along the shoreline. The water is calm, with small ripples. The sky above is light gray and featureless. The artist's signature is in the bottom-left corner.
