"Phalerum (from Sketchbook)" is a pencil drawing by American artist Mary Newbold Sargent, dated September 11, 1904. This sketch depicts a distant view of Phaleron, a coastal region near Athens, Greece. Sargent's work captures the essence of the landscape with a minimalist approach, emphasizing the mountainous backdrop and the silhouette of the city against the horizon. This intimate, small-scale drawing, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Sargent's keen eye for observation and her skill in capturing the essence of a place.
