"Entrance to Canal (from Sketchbook)" is a pencil drawing on paper by American artist Mary Newbold Sargent, created in 1904. The drawing depicts a simple landscape view, likely of a canal entrance, with a series of mountains in the background and a foreground containing a body of water and perhaps foliage. The drawing is characterized by Sargent's delicate and precise lines, characteristic of her work in the later years of her life. The artwork is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York, NY.
