Tree Sketch and Landscape (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a simple pencil sketch on paper. The sketch depicts a tree on the left and what appears to be a mountain range on the right. The tree has a tall, thin trunk with some indication of foliage at the top. The mountain range is drawn with several horizontal lines suggesting layers of peaks. The paper is rectangular with slightly rounded corners and has a shadow effect around it, suggesting it is slightly raised. The background of the image is plain white. The artist's name is Albert Bierstadt and the title is "Tree Sketch and Landscape (from Sketchbook)".
