Two Sketches of Mountain Landscapes (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a pencil sketch of two mountain landscapes. The sketch is divided into two sections. The top section shows a mountain range with a few lines indicating trees in the foreground and a mountain or hills in the background. The lower section appears to be a rough outline of a landscape, possibly a valley or a body of water, with some scribbled lines. The sketch is drawn on a rectangular piece of paper with rounded corners. The paper has a slight shadow around it, suggesting that it is slightly raised from a flat surface. The background of the image is plain white.
