Mountains of Naphtali (?) (from Sketchbook) 1904

This pencil sketch by Mary Newbold Sargent, titled "Mountains of Naphtali (?) (from Sketchbook)" from 1904, depicts a landscape view with hills and a village in the distance. Sargent, who lived from 1826 to 1906, was known for her sketches and watercolors of landscapes, particularly of the Holy Land, which she visited in 1881. This sketch is a quick, gestural depiction of a scene, perhaps created as a memory of her travels, showcasing Sargent's skill at capturing a sense of place through simple lines. The work is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
