Gulf of Corinth (from Sketchbook) 1904

Mary Newbold Sargent's "Gulf of Corinth (from Sketchbook)" is a graphite drawing on paper, capturing the beauty of a Grecian landscape. The artwork, completed in 1904, depicts a small sailboat sailing across the water towards the distant shore, where mountains rise in the distance. The simple, yet evocative scene is characteristic of Sargent's sketchbook drawings, which are known for their subtle details and quick, gestural style. This artwork provides a glimpse into the artist's travels and her keen observation of nature. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the drawing resides, houses a collection of Sargent's sketches, offering a unique perspective on the artist's process and artistic vision.
