Storm King, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a landscape. The sketch is drawn on two pages that are side by side, with a thin gap between. The left side depicts a body of water with a few lines suggesting hills or mountains on the horizon. The right side depicts vertical lines that may represent trees or a cliff face. There are handwritten notes at the bottom of each page. The handwriting on the left is difficult to read but appears to mention a location. The handwriting on the right mentions a "driven and aptness to heroic beauty". The overall appearance is a rough pencil sketch. The sketch is titled "Storm King" and is attributed to Daniel Huntington, dated 1871.
