Pine Cliff, Mohonk, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a cliff face. The cliff face occupies the right half of the image. The cliff face is drawn on two pages that are shown side by side. A vertical line down the middle separates the two pages. The left page is mostly blank. The right page shows a cliff face drawn in detail with shading and lines to show contours. The cliff face is rough and uneven. There are small trees drawn on the right edge. There is handwritten text at the bottom. The text includes "Pine Cliff, Mohonk, 1871" and appears to be written on both pages.
