Cape Sunium (from Sketchbook) 1904

"Cape Sunium (from Sketchbook)" is a watercolor on paper by Mary Newbold Sargent, a well-known American artist, completed in 1904. This small-scale work, depicting a seascape with distant mountains, is a sensitive and evocative depiction of the famed Cape Sunium in Greece. The artist's use of muted tones and delicate brushstrokes captures the serenity of the scene, making it a charming addition to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
