Dwellings with Canoe (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil drawing on white paper with a canoe in the foreground. The canoe is drawn with minimal lines and shading, with the bow facing the right. There are several vertical and horizontal lines behind the canoe, possibly representing trees or buildings. Three small triangular shapes are on the right side of the drawing. The paper appears to be a page from a sketchbook with three holes punched along the right edge.
