Bay Scene (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white rectangular piece of paper with rough edges and faint pencil marks. The paper is oriented vertically. The paper's surface features very light gray, faint pencil drawings. There are two short, straight lines, one at the top and one slightly below it, possibly representing a horizon line. The top line has two small dots on either side. The background of the image is solid white. The drawing appears to be a sketch, likely by Albert Bierstadt, titled "Bay Scene (from Sketchbook)".
