Mountain Sketch (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a landscape in a sketchbook. The left page is mostly blank with faint sketch lines. The right page depicts a detailed pencil drawing of trees and foliage on the right side, with a glimpse of a mountain range in the background. The sketchbook pages are rectangular with a thin black border around the edges, and there are two holes visible in the center where the pages are bound. The image is presented on a plain white background.
