Hudson (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on paper of five sailboats on water. The sailboats are centered in the image and drawn in a simple line style with minimal detail. They each have a single mast and appear to be similar in size and shape. The boats are floating on calm water with slight reflections visible underneath. The background shows a simple line drawing of a cloudy sky. The sketch is titled "Hudson" and signed by artist Daniel Huntington in the lower-left corner. The image is in grayscale with no color present. The paper appears worn and aged with darker spots and lines around the edges. The sketch takes up most of the page, with blank space around it.
