Catskills, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two-page sketchbook spread with a pencil drawing of a landscape. The drawing depicts a mountain range with multiple peaks in the background and rolling hills in the foreground. The left and right pages are side by side, with a dark line down the middle where the book's spine is. The pages are white with grey shading and darker shading at the edges. There are handwritten notes at the bottom of each page. The notes on the left page are mostly illegible. The note on the right page reads "Aug 11" and "and Mt. Tremont in distance". The overall image is in black and white.
