Sketch of Boats on a Shore (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of boats on a shore. The image is drawn with simple lines and minimal shading. A bird stands on the shore. Several boats are drawn on the water. The water appears choppy. A shoreline or cliff is in the background. The drawing is simple and appears to be a quick sketch. The image has a black border around it. The border is thicker on the left and right sides. The image is rectangular with rounded corners. The corners are slightly darker than the rest of the image.
