Straights of Messina, 1904 (from Sketchbook)

Black and white landscape drawing of a range of mountains. The drawing spans two pages that are bound together. The mountains are depicted in varying shades of gray, with darker shading at the base and lighter towards the top. The sky above the mountains is light gray with some darker shading suggestive of clouds on the left. The sea in the foreground is depicted as a flat, light gray area. There is a signature in the bottom right corner that reads "Straits of Messina" and "Dec. 2 1904".
