View of Mount Baker (from Sketchbook) 1890

"View of Mount Baker (from Sketchbook)" is a pencil sketch on paper by Albert Bierstadt, a renowned American landscape painter known for his dramatic and often idealized depictions of the American West. Created in 1890, this small-scale drawing (4 3/4 x 7 3/4 in) provides a glimpse into Bierstadt's creative process, capturing a preliminary study of the majestic Mount Baker, a stratovolcano in Washington state. This sketch is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
