Lake Como, May 3, 1869 (verso, from sketchbook)

Jervis McEntee

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a sketchbook with two facing pages. The left page is mostly blank with very faint sketch of a horse and minimal writing. The right page depicts a landscape with a body of water, trees on the shore, and mountains in the background. The landscape drawing covers most of the right page with some faint writing on the bottom right. The sketchbook pages are rectangular with a thin black line border and have a slight shadow effect around the edges. The background behind the sketchbook is plain white.
