Landscape with Trees (from Sketchbook VII)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil drawing on paper of a landscape with trees. The drawing is rectangular. The paper is open like a book. The drawing is in shades of gray. A field with short grass is in the foreground. There are several trees in the background, some with bare branches and some with leaves. The trees are of various sizes and are scattered across the background. The sky above the trees is light gray with some darker gray lines indicating clouds. The paper has a rough texture and appears to be aged. The drawing is on the right page of the book, and the left page is mostly blank and visible on the left side.
