Landscape with Bay, Trees, and Mountains [Red Rock?] (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A grayscale sketch on paper of a landscape with a house, trees, and mountains. The sketch is rectangular with rounded corners. A small house with a gable roof is in the lower left. The house has two visible windows on the side. There are four trees drawn to the right of the house. The trees are bare and vary in size. The mountains are in the background behind the trees. The mountains are hazy and appear to be in the distance. The sketch is on a white background. The sketch paper has a rough texture and appears to be from a sketchbook. There are holes along the left edge of the paper.
