Sketches of a Cliffside and a Tree (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular image with rounded corners, predominantly white with faint pencil sketch. A tree with a thin trunk and sparse branches is drawn at the top right. A darkened area resembling a cliffside or mountain range is on the left. A horizontal line at the bottom may represent a ground line. The sketch is bordered by a dark line, likely a page edge.
