The Hudson, Storm King, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an open sketchbook with two facing pages containing pencil drawings of mountains. The pages are white with some darker shading and lines indicating the contours of the mountains. The right page has illegible writing in the bottom-right corner. The book is positioned horizontally, with a small gap between the pages and a dark mark on the top-right edge, possibly a bookmark. The background of the image is light gray.
