Two Landscape Sketches (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a pencil sketch on paper. The sketch is divided into two sections. The top section contains a simple landscape drawing with trees and hills or mountains. The drawing occupies the top third of the image with cursive writing above. The bottom two-thirds of the image are mostly blank. The paper is rectangular with rounded corners and appears to have a rough texture. The background of the image is plain white. The image is likely a landscape sketch by Albert Bierstadt.
