Port Havey (?) (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A pencil sketch on paper of a landscape. The sketch is drawn on a rectangular piece of paper with rounded corners. The paper is mostly blank, with a simple line drawing of a landscape near the bottom. The drawing depicts a low-lying area in the foreground and a line of mountains or hills in the background. The mountains or hills have a few peaks and some trees or bushes on top. The drawing is very simple, with minimal details. The paper has a slight shadow around it, suggesting it is slightly raised from the surface it is on. The background behind the paper is plain white.
