Ancient Walls, 1904 (from Sketchbook) 1904

"Ancient Walls of Conel" is a pencil sketch on paper by American artist Mary Newbold Sargent (1826-1906). Created in 1904, the work depicts an architectural scene with a series of tall walls and towers. The image is characterized by the artist's delicate lines and loose strokes, typical of her sketching style. This small-scale work is part of a larger sketchbook collection and offers a glimpse into Sargent's artistic process and her interest in historical architecture.
