Mohonk, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of two pages from a sketchbook. The left page is blank with some minor smudge marks. The right page depicts a rough sketch of a rocky shoreline or mountain side in black pencil. The sketch appears to be a quick study with minimal detail. There is a body of water at the bottom; the rocky formation on the right rises diagonally to the top. Some illegible writing appears in the bottom right corner. The date "Aug 2 1871" is written in the bottom right corner.
