Rocks by the Sea, Newport

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a rocky cliffside. The rocks are jagged and varied in size. Some are large and prominent, while others are smaller and in the background. The rocks are drawn with varying shades of gray, with some areas darker and more defined, and others lighter and more subtle. The background of the image is white with some speckles and smudges. The drawing takes up the left side of the image. The overall style is realistic and detailed, with a focus on capturing the texture and form of the rocks. The title of the sketch is "Rocks by the Sea, Newport" and it is by Daniel Huntington.
