Bog Meadow, West Point, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a landscape. A body of water fills the center. On the right, a steep rocky cliff descends to the water. On the left, a more gradual slope descends to the water, with trees and grasses. There are hills and more trees in the background. Some handwritten text is in the bottom-left corner. The sketch is on two pages that are stuck together, creating a crease down the middle.
