Robert Jones

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a landscape with a large tree on the left side and a body of water on the right. The tree has a thick trunk and branches that extend outwards to the right, covering part of the image. A small wooden bridge or dam crosses the water on the right side, with visible ripples on the surface; several rocks and boulders are scattered along the water's edge. The background features more trees and a hazy sky. The image is titled "Trenton Falls, New York" and attributed to artist Robert Jones.
