Mount Nebo (from Sketchbook)

Mary Newbold Sargent

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Sketch of a landscape with a body of water and mountains in the background. The sketch is in a rectangle with a thin black outline, on a white background. The body of water fills the lower half, drawn with short horizontal and curved lines suggesting movement. The mountains are drawn across the upper half, with short curved lines suggesting peaks. The sky above the mountains is blank except for a few short lines. The artist's signature, in cursive, appears in the bottom-right corner. The image is simple and minimalistic, drawn in pencil or a similar medium.
