"Coast of Asia Minor (from Sketchbook)" is a watercolor on paper by American artist Mary Newbold Sargent, created in 1904. The artwork depicts a simple, yet striking landscape of a mountain range in the distance, overlooking a calm body of water. Sargent's signature minimalist style and use of watercolor washes capture the serenity of the scene. This intimate sketch provides a glimpse into Sargent's artistic process and her interest in capturing the beauty of the natural world, specifically, the coastline of Asia Minor. The work is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
