Mountain Landscape Sketch (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a mountain landscape. The sketch is drawn on a white rectangular piece of paper with rounded corners. The paper has a thin black border around it and is positioned horizontally. The sketch depicts a landscape with mountains in the background and some trees and possibly a body of water in the foreground. The mountains are drawn with simple lines, with some details suggested but not fully rendered. The overall scene is simple and not very detailed. The background behind the paper is plain white.
