Ancient Walls, 1904 (from Sketchbook)

Mary Newbold Sargent

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on paper of a landscape with a hill, trees, and ruins of ancient stone walls and towers. The sketch is rendered in shades of gray. The wall and towers are on the right side of the image. Three towers are visible; one on the far right is tall and square with two small arched windows. A tree stands on a stone wall in front of two crumbling towers on the left. The sky above is blank. Cursive text at the bottom right reads "Ancient walls in Cordoba" and "Sept 25/04".
