Island of Lemnos (from Sketchbook) 1904

"Island of Lemnos (from Sketchbook)" is a watercolor on paper by American artist Mary Newbold Sargent, created in 1904. The artwork depicts a distant view of the island of Lemnos, Greece, with a simple, yet evocative style. The sketch, likely made during a trip to Greece, captures the rugged landscape of the island with a few simple brushstrokes, showcasing Sargent's ability to capture the essence of a place. This small-scale work, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Sargent's keen eye for observation and her skill in translating her impressions into art.
