Bay Scene; Sketches of Two Boats (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketchbook page with a pencil drawing. The page is rectangular with rounded corners and a black border along the top and left side. The drawing depicts a landscape with two boats on water and a tree on the right side. The boats are drawn on the top half of the page, one on the left and one on the right, with some illegible writing above them. The tree is drawn on the right side, extending from the bottom to the top of the page. The background of the drawing is mostly blank, with some faint pencil marks. The background behind the sketchbook page is plain white.
