Sketch of Mountains (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular sketch with rounded corners. The sketch is on white paper and features a faint pencil drawing of mountains. The drawing is very simple, with only a few lines indicating the shape of the mountains. The paper is slightly off-white and has some darker areas around the edges. The background of the image is plain white. The style and subject matter are consistent with an 18th or 19th-century landscape sketch. The artist's style matches that of Albert Bierstadt, and the sketch resembles an early study for one of his famous mountain landscapes.
