William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a mountain landscape. The sketch is drawn across two pages that are side by side. The left page is mostly blank with faint cursive writing. The right page contains a landscape sketch. The sketch depicts a large mountain in the center with trees on its lower slopes. The mountain is covered in shading that suggests snow or rock. There are more mountains in the background. The sky above the mountains is blank. There are a few trees on the lower right side of the sketch. The edges of the pages have a thin black border.
