Lake Scene in the Adirondack Mountains, 1864 (from Sketchbook)

Thomas Hewes Hinckley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a lake scene. A large rock formation with a tree on top is in the center-left. The rock is dark and shaded. The tree has sparse leaves and branches that extend to the right. A few bare trees are behind the rock formation on the left. A smaller rock formation is on the right. The lake's surface reflects the sky's light. The background shows a hazy shoreline with trees. The drawing is on a rectangular piece of paper with a darker border around it.
