Hudson; and Claverack Creek

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two landscape sketches positioned vertically on one sheet. The top sketch depicts a tranquil scene with a river flowing horizontally across the image, trees and shrubs along the riverbanks, and a tall tree on the right. The second sketch below shows a creek surrounded by dense vegetation, with trees and branches arching over the water. The sketches are characterized by fine pencil strokes capturing the textures and forms of the natural environment. The colors are primarily in shades of grey, creating a serene and monochromatic visual impact.
