Hills and Mountains (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a sketchbook opened to two facing pages. The left page is blank and white. The right page contains a pencil sketch of a mountain landscape. The mountains are drawn with varying shades of gray. A large mountain peak sits at the top center of the right page. Several smaller mountain peaks are drawn behind and to the right. A ridge or plateau slopes down from the large mountain to the bottom right. A thin black line runs vertically down the center where the pages meet. The image background is white.
