Delaware '64 (Delaware River View) (from Sketchbook)

Thomas Hewes Hinckley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a tree on the left side, with a body of water and distant trees on the right side. The tree has a thick trunk and branches with leaves. The body of water appears to be a river, with a subtle reflection of the trees on its surface. The background is a light gray color, with a darker gray line drawing of the trees and river. The overall style is simple and minimalist, with a focus on the basic shapes and lines of the scene. The image is set within a rectangular border with a thin dark line.
