Mohonk, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a body of water with a shoreline and tree. The sketch is on two facing pages. The right page depicts a detailed pencil sketch of a rocky shoreline with a tree on the right side. The left page shows a simple pencil sketch of two rounded rocks protruding from the water on the left side. The water appears calm with very faint sketch marks on both pages indicating ripples. In the bottom right corner of the right page, there is a signature and date written in pencil. The background of the sketch is blank except for the faint sketch marks. The sketch is done in a simple, realistic style.
