Study of Lake, with Sailboat and Canoe, Set Against Mountains (from Sketchbook)

John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white sketch of a lake scene. A sailboat with two masts is on the left side, and a canoe with two people is in the middle of the lake. There are mountains in the background. The sky above the mountains appears hazy. The water is calm, reflecting the sailboat. The sketch is drawn on white paper with some smudges and marks. The bottom half of the paper is mostly blank.
