Below Fawn's Leap, Catskill Mountains; and Above the Bridge

Andrew Fisher Bunner

National Gallery of Art

The image contains two pencil sketches of natural landscapes. The top sketch shows a rocky cliff, rolling hills in the distance, and a valley horizon. The strokes are soft and use light shading to depict the scene in shades of gray. The bottom sketch features a wooden bridge over a calm stream, with a tall tree in the background. The pencil strokes are detailed, capturing the textures of rocks, wood, and water. The gray tones unify the sketches, emphasizing the serene natural setting.
