Landscape with Figures, 1904 (from Sketchbook0

Mary Newbold Sargent

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing. The drawing is divided down the middle by a vertical crease. The landscape features rolling hills and mountains in the background. The sky occupies the top third of the image. In the foreground on the right, a large piece of driftwood or wreckage lies on the ground. A figure stands on the wreckage, and another figure sits on the ground nearby. The scene includes several small trees and bushes scattered throughout. The image is rendered in shades of gray, with darker tones used for shadows and details. The overall style is impressionistic, with loose brushstrokes.
