Captain Concay (?) Commanding The New (?) Santa Maria (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white piece of paper with a black border, featuring a pencil sketch of a ship on the left side. The sketch is simple and appears to be a rough outline, with lines indicating the shape of the vessel. On the right side of the paper, there is handwritten text in cursive, but it is difficult to read. Above the cursive text, there is typed text that reads "FROM THE ESTATE OF MARY'S BIERSTADT, MARCH 1917". The paper has a rectangular shape with rounded corners and is set against a plain white background.
