William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil drawing on aged paper of a mountain landscape. A large snow-capped mountain with a rounded peak dominates the right side, with a smaller peak to the left. The mountain slopes are covered in snow. In the foreground, several trees appear on the right. A handwritten note in cursive script on the left side reads "Sibertz Cap. Mount Tacoma Aug 23 1885". A second, illegible signature appears on the bottom right.
