Rock Study (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white sketch of a rock formation. The sketch is on a gray background with some darker gray and black marks. A large rock formation is drawn in the center-left of the image. It has a rounded top and a rough, jagged edge. Several lines extend from the rock formation to the right side of the image, possibly indicating a cliff or mountain range. The lines are rough and uneven, suggesting a natural, rocky terrain. The background of the sketch is a light gray color, with some darker gray and black specks scattered throughout. In the bottom-left corner, there is some small, illegible text.
