Bog Meadow Pond, West Point, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a body of water. The water fills the center with some darker shading to indicate depth. Tall grasses and reeds are drawn in the foreground on the bottom left. A large tree trunk protrudes from the right edge. The background contains trees and a hill. A small note is written in the bottom-left corner. The sketch appears to be on two joined pages.
