Rocky Landscape (Cape Flattery) (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A sketchbook page with a drawing of a rocky landscape. The page is open to two facing pages, with the left page mostly blank and the right page containing a pencil sketch. The sketch depicts a coastline with a large rock formation on the right side and mountains in the background. The rock formation is drawn with jagged lines, indicating rough terrain. The mountains are also drawn with simple lines, suggesting a range with multiple peaks. The sketch is rendered in pencil on a white background. The pages have a thin black border around the edges. The pages are bound together with three small round holes down the center.
