Port Havey (?) (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white pencil sketch of a landscape on a gray piece of paper. The sketch depicts a simple line drawing of a town on the edge of a body of water with a mountain beyond, on the right. The sketch is roughly centered on the paper and oriented horizontally. The water in the foreground is sketched with a few lines. The background of the paper is blank except for some handwritten text in the upper right; two words are legible: "Port" and "Havey". The sketch is on a rectangular piece of paper with rounded corners; the corners are worn. The paper has a thin black border around the edge. The image is on a white background.
