Sketches of Rowboat and Figure Standing in a Rowboat (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of paper with rounded corners and a black border, resembling a sketchbook page. The paper has several pencil sketches of rowboats. There are a total of five boat sketches. The sketches appear to be rough and varied. In one of the sketches, a figure is standing in a rowboat. The background of the image is plain white.
