St. Vincent

Charles H. Woodbury

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a black and white pencil sketch of a mountainous landscape viewed from above. The mountains create a boundary between land and sky. The sketch depicts rugged slopes and sharp peaks with varying pencil stroke intensity and thickness to show depth and texture. The monochromatic palette uses variations of black on white paper. The hills close to us have pronounced contours, while distant peaks are softer and less defined. Some ridges have sparse indications of foliage.
