Thomas Hewes Hinckley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a landscape. The sketch is drawn on a piece of paper with a black border. The landscape drawing depicts a river flowing through a valley with mountains in the background. The river is drawn with a few lines in the center of the image, and the mountains are drawn with simple lines on the right side and in the distance. The mountains are taller on the right side of the image. The sky above the mountains is blank. The overall image is simple, with minimal details.
