Sketch of Sky and Mountains (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketchbook page with a rough sketch of mountains and sky. The sketch is very faint. A large, lighter area suggests the sky. Darker smudges and lines suggest mountains. The image is very rough. The background behind the sketchbook page is solid white.
