Catskills, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of two pages in a sketchbook. The pages are side by side, with a dark line down the middle where the binding is. The sketches are of a landscape with a mountain range in the background and lower rolling hills in the foreground. The mountains have several peaks and ridges. The rolling hills have several lines indicating texture. There is writing at the bottom of both pages. The writing is blurry but appears to be in cursive and includes dates and locations. The overall image is blurry and grainy.
