Long [?] Lake, 1864 (from Sketchbook)

Thomas Hewes Hinckley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing of a lake. The lake is wide and still, reflecting the surrounding scenery. A shoreline curves from the bottom-left corner, with sparse vegetation. A cluster of trees and bushes grows along the left shoreline. In the background, a dense forest lines the lake on the right, while a mountain range rises in the distance. The sky above is light gray and featureless. The drawing is framed by a thin black border.
