Under the Cliffs, 1871 (from Sketchbook) 1870

"Under the Cliffs" is a pencil sketch on paper by American artist Daniel Huntington, created in 1870. The artwork depicts a narrow, rocky passageway, likely a natural feature such as a gorge or a cliffside. Huntington’s simple but detailed lines capture the texture of the rocks and the light filtering through the passage. The sketch is a smaller work from Huntington’s sketchbook, which is now held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The artist’s signature and date are visible in the lower right corner of the page.
