Landscape with Waterfall and Figures (from Sketchbook) 1835 - 1839

This pencil sketch by Francis William Edmonds, titled "Landscape with Waterfall and Figures (from Sketchbook)," depicts a scene of a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff with a small building perched on the top. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the rendering of the waterfall and surrounding vegetation, as well as the subtle shading that creates depth and dimension. Created between 1835 and 1839, this work is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection and is a testament to Edmonds' talent as a landscape artist.
