Jervis McEntee

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an open sketchbook with two facing pages. The left page is blank except for a small sketch in the bottom-left corner and a fainter sketch across the middle. The right page has a pencil sketch of a lake scene with a town on the right side and trees and mountains on the horizon. The lake's surface reflects the scenery. The sketchbook is centered on a plain white background.
