Gulf of Corinth (from Sketchbook)

Mary Newbold Sargent

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing of a body of water with mountains in the background. The mountains are drawn in varying shades of gray, with the one on the left being the tallest and most prominent. The body of water is calm, reflecting the mountains and sky. The sky above is cloudy, with some areas of clear sky visible. The drawing is framed by a thin black border, and there is some illegible writing in the bottom-right corner. The overall style is simple and serene, with a focus on capturing the natural beauty of the scene.
