William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a landscape. The sketch is on two facing pages that are spread open. The left page and right page are joined in the middle. The sketch depicts a coastline with a mountainous area on the right side. The coastline on the left appears jagged. There are two lines of cursive handwriting on the left page, but the words are illegible. The background of the image is white. The sketch itself is centered on the white background.
