Corfu 1904

"Corfu" is a pencil drawing by American artist Mary Newbold Sargent, created in 1904. The piece, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, depicts a view of Corfu, Greece, with a focus on the city's architecture and surrounding greenery. Sargent's loose and gestural style, evident in the textured lines and shading, captures the essence of the landscape. The drawing's intimate scale, measuring just 4 7/8 x 7 13/16 inches, highlights the artist's keen eye for detail and her ability to evoke a sense of place through subtle strokes.
