Clouds over Water (Long Island Sound?) (from Sketchbook)

Henry Ward Ranger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a landscape with clouds over water. The sketch is drawn on white paper and features a large cloud in the top center, with smaller clouds to the left and right. The cloud is drawn with a pencil outline and some shading. The water is depicted at the bottom of the sketch, with wavy lines suggesting movement. The water lines are drawn with varying levels of shading, with darker shading at the bottom. The background of the sketch is the white paper, with some smudges and marks visible. A darker curved line is on the left edge of the paper. The sketch appears to be a study or quick drawing.
