Kauterskill Clove (from Sketchbook of Landscape and Animal Subjects) 1857 - 1867

"Kauterskill Clove (from Sketchbook of Landscape and Animal Subjects)" is a pencil drawing by American artist Thomas Hewes Hinckley, dating back to 1857-1867. This work, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Hinckley's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the serene beauty of the natural world. The delicate strokes depict a mountainous landscape, likely in the Catskill region of New York, with a winding valley, dense foliage, and a tall pine tree standing prominently in the foreground. Hinckley's meticulous renderings of the mountains and trees invite viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil scenery.
