Mountain Landscape (from Sketchbook) 1890

"Mountain Landscape (from Sketchbook)" is a pencil sketch on paper by Albert Bierstadt, created in 1890. This small, intimate work, measuring only 4 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches, shows the artist's keen eye for detail and the natural world. The delicate lines capture the majesty of a mountain range, a testament to Bierstadt's enduring fascination with the American landscape. The sketch, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the creative process of one of America's most celebrated landscape painters.
