Landscape with Tree, 1904 (from Sketchbook)

Mary Newbold Sargent

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a pencil sketch on white paper. A landscape is drawn in the center, featuring a tree on the right side and a mountain range in the background. The tree appears to have a thick trunk and some branches. The mountains are depicted with simple lines, and there are some wavy lines suggesting hills or terrain in the foreground. In the bottom-right corner, there is handwritten cursive text that reads: "Sketch where I came and woodcut sketches for Thornton coming on account of the Lake of Como on Oct. 28th 1904." The handwriting is difficult to read but appears to be a note about the sketch. The paper has a rough edge and appears to be bound on the left side with small black squares, possibly staples or clips. The overall appearance is that of a quick sketch or study, likely created outdoors.
