Study of Lake and Cliffs (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a grayscale sketch of a lake and cliffs. The sketch is drawn in pencil on a piece of paper with a light gray background. The lake is drawn at the bottom of the page, taking up about one-third of the image. The cliffs are drawn along the top and right side of the lake. There are trees and bushes on top of the cliffs. The cliffs on the right appear jagged and steep, while the ones on the left are more rounded. The water appears mostly still. The sketch is very simple and appears to be a study or a rough draft. The artist's name is Daniel Huntington.
