Mohonk (from Sketchbook) 1870

"Mohonk (from Sketchbook)" is a pencil drawing on paper created by American artist Daniel Huntington in 1870. This small sketch, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, captures the artist's impression of the natural landscape, likely a view from the Mohonk Mountain House in New York. The delicate lines suggest a focus on the natural forms, with the artist's keen eye for detail evident in the subtle contours of the rocks and foliage. This drawing exemplifies Huntington's talent for rendering the beauty of the American landscape, a theme he frequently explored in his work.
