Thomas Addison Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape drawing of a riverbank. A sloping riverbank occupies the lower right side of the image. The bank has a tree stump at the bottom left. A line of trees grows at the top of the slope. The trees are drawn with a range of lightly and densely shaded leaves. The trees are tall and thin with visible trunks. A body of water is visible on the left side. The water appears flat. The background features a hazy horizon line. The entire image is drawn in shades of gray. A small amount of illegible writing appears at the top left.
