Bay, Hill, and Figure on Shore (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular sketch with a thin black border on white paper, featuring a landscape with a body of water and a hill. The body of water fills the bottom third of the sketch. A small figure stands on the shore in the lower center. A tree is drawn on the right edge. The hill rises from the right side and curves to the left. The hill has a grassy area at the bottom and a wooded area at the top. The sketch is drawn in pencil. The paper appears to have a slight shadow around the edges, indicating it is slightly raised. The background behind the paper is plain white.
