Tree Landscape with Camp (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular drawing on two joined pages, depicted in grayscale. The left page features a tree with a thick base and foliage at the top, with smaller, less defined trees behind it. The right page depicts a large, detailed tree with a wide canopy. Small figures of people are standing in front of the trees on the right page. The drawing is rendered in pencil and appears to be a landscape study. The image is presented against a white background.
