Sketchbook, Marines and Landscapes
ca. 1890
William Trost Richards
American, 1833-1905
American Art
Occasionally, Richards used pen and ink to create remarkable little sketches. In these drawings, he modeled his delicately outlined forms with skillful hatching and cross-hatching, linear techniques for shading and modeling learned early in his career as an illustrator. This pastoral vista is probably a view of Newport or neighboring Jamestown.
