Mr. Mason by the Sea

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a rocky shoreline. The rocks are large and jagged, with some partially submerged in the water. The water appears calm, with small ripples around the rocks. The sky above is light gray with darker spots scattered throughout. In the bottom right corner, there is handwritten text that is difficult to read. The overall atmosphere suggests a serene and peaceful scene. The title of the piece is "Mr. Mason by the Sea" and it is by artist Daniel Huntington.
