Catskill Clove (from Sketchbook)

Thomas Hewes Hinckley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular drawing of a landscape with a bare tree on the left. The tree has a thin trunk and branches with no leaves. It stands on a slope that descends to the right. The slope is covered with lines suggesting texture. In the background, there are more slopes and hills, also covered with lines. The drawing is in shades of gray, suggesting it may be a sketch or study. The edges of the paper are visible, with some rough and worn areas. The overall appearance is simple and minimalist, focusing on the basic forms of the landscape.
