Sketch of a Country Scene (from Sketchbook)

Thomas Hewes Hinckley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch on paper of a country scene. The sketch depicts a landscape with trees and bushes. The trees are bare with very few leaves. The trees are drawn on the left and right sides of the sketch. There are some indistinct shapes in the middle ground that could be additional trees or foliage. The paper has a rough texture and appears to be aged, with some darker spots and discoloration visible. The edges of the paper are rough and uneven. The sketch is set against a white background.
