The image shows a black and white sketchbook with two pages open. The left page is blank except for some small, illegible writing in the bottom-left corner. The right page contains a pencil sketch of a landscape. The sketch depicts a body of water in the foreground, with a mountain range behind it. There are trees on the right side of the sketch, and a few clouds in the sky. The sketch is simple and appears to be a quick study or rough draft. The background of the image is plain white. The title of the work, "Lake Como, May 3, 1869," suggests that the landscape depicted is of Lake Como on a specific date. The artist's name is Jervis McEntee.
