Sketch of Bow River and Canadian Rockies (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white sketchbook page with very faint, incomplete pencil sketches. The page is rectangular with rounded corners and has a rough texture. A series of small holes are punched along the top edge. Faint pencil marks and lines are visible on the page, but they do not form a clear image. The background of the image is white, with a slight shadow underneath the sketchbook page.
