Study of Bay and Shore (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a rocky shoreline. The rocks are drawn in the foreground, with varying shades of gray indicating texture and depth. The rocks have jagged edges and some appear to have flat tops. The water is depicted as a lighter gray area behind the rocks. The horizon line is roughly at the center of the image. The sky above the horizon is light gray with some darker gray lines indicating clouds.
