Mountain Sketches (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a mountain landscape. The sketch is drawn on a white rectangular piece of paper with a black border. It is titled "Mountain Sketches (from Sketchbook X)" by William Trost Richards. The drawing depicts mountains with lines suggesting texture and depth. The mountains are drawn on the right side of the paper, while the left side is blank. The mountains have many lines that go up and down and some that go across. The drawing appears to be a simple sketch or study of the mountains, with loose and expressive lines.
