Mountain View [Catskills?] (from Sketchbook)

Thomas Hewes Hinckley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch on rectangular paper with a thin black border. The paper has visible dark spots, smudges, and small tears along the edges. A landscape drawing depicts a hill or mountain with a pointed peak on the left side, rendered in simple lines and shading. The hill slopes down to the right. A few lines suggest additional landscape features. Small, illegible text appears in the bottom corners. The paper is set against a plain white background.
