Fraser (?) River, Warnock (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white sketch of a landscape. The sketch appears to be done in pencil on paper and is quite faint. A river runs vertically down the center. The river has several lines suggesting rapids or waves. On either side of the river are land masses with some sketchy lines indicating trees. The sketch is rectangular, with rounded corners. The edges of the paper have some dark marks and there are some illegible words written vertically on the left side. The background of the image is white.
