Cornwall, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a landscape spread across two pages. The sketch depicts a mountain range with a few trees in the foreground on the right side. The left page shows a more distant view with minimal detail. The right page shows a closer view with more defined trees. The mountains have a gentle slope. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom right corner. The year '1871' and location 'Cornwall' are noted. The image has a simple, hand-drawn appearance. The background of the sketch is plain. The sketch is rendered in pencil. The pages appear to be from a sketchbook.
