Beth Jahlah, 1904 (from Sketchbook)

Mary Newbold Sargent

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on two facing pages of a sketchbook. The sketch depicts a landscape with a town or village in the background and a hill or mountain. The left page mostly blank with faint pencil marks and a line extending from lower left corner. The right page has more defined pencil marks showing buildings and a hill. There is handwritten text in the lower right corner. The text appears to be a title "Beth Jahlah" and some illegible writing. The sketch is simple and lacks shading or detailed features. The style suggests a quick study or rough draft. The overall appearance is monochromatic with varying shades of gray. The image includes a central vertical line where the pages are bound.
