"Seven Towers (from Sketchbook)" is a pencil drawing on paper by American artist Mary Newbold Sargent. Created in 1904, the work depicts a view of a tower, likely in Europe, with surrounding foliage. The drawing highlights Sargent's keen eye for detail and use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth. This small-scale work is a glimpse into the artist's sketchbook and a testament to her love of travel and capturing the beauty of the world around her. This work is currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
