William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A black and white sketch of a landscape spread across two pages. The left page is mostly blank with some smudges and a few trees sketched on the right side. The right page has a more detailed sketch of a landscape with trees, some people and animals, and what appears to be a tent or encampment in the center. The sketch is drawn in pencil. The landscape has a few large trees on the left side and more trees and foliage on the right. There are several people and what looks like horses or other animals in the background on the right side.
