Wilkeson Aug 21st 1885: Nature Study (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white sketch of a bunch of grapes. The sketch is on white paper and is drawn in pencil and ink. The bunch of grapes is in the center of the page, with leaves and stems drawn around it. The grapes are shaded to give a three-dimensional appearance. The paper is rectangular and has a rough edge on the left side. There is handwriting on the bottom right of the paper that says "Wilkeson Aug 21st 1885". The background of the image is plain white.
