Landscape and Accounts (from Sketchbook) 1796 - 1886

"Landscape and Accounts (from Sketchbook)" is a sketch by American artist Asher Brown Durand, dated between 1796 and 1886. The artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a small-scale pencil drawing on paper, measuring 4 5/8 x 6 7/8 in. The sketch itself is barely visible, appearing as a faint outline of trees, possibly a landscape study. This intimate work highlights Durand’s artistic process and is a testament to his dedication to capturing the natural world, even in his personal sketches.
