Village and Mountain (from Sketchbook)

Mary Newbold Sargent

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white sketch of a mountain range. The sketch is simple, with minimal details and no shading. The mountains are drawn with a few curved lines that suggest their shape. A thin line across the bottom of the sketch may represent a lake or a shoreline. The sketch is presented on a gray background, possibly paper. It is bordered by a thin black frame. The overall effect is one of simplicity and minimalism. The title of the work is "Village and Mountain (from Sketchbook)" by Mary Newbold Sargent.
