The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gray-scale sketch of two sprigs of a bush with berries. The sketch is on a white background and appears to be in a book or sketchbook. The top sprig has several branches with small oval-shaped leaves and several red berries. The bottom sprig has one long branch with small oval-shaped leaves and no berries. The sketch is done in pencil and has a simple, yet detailed style. The artist's name, "Albert Bierstadt", is written vertically on the right side of the sketch. The title "Trees with Red Berries (from Sketchbook)" is associated with the image.
