Landscape with Tree in Foreground (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular grayscale image, predominantly white with gray shading. A dark border surrounds the image. A lighter gray rectangular shape dominates the center. A tree branch-like drawing appears in the lower portion. The overall effect is one of a simple, yet detailed, monochromatic artwork. The image could be described as a landscape sketch.
