About this work

This black-and-white sketch shows two women standing near a rocky cliff. One holds a walking stick, looking ahead, while the other leans on a pole, gazing down. Behind them, a waterfall crashes into a dark cave, and a small figure walks away in the distance. The title says this is based on a painting of the Catskill Mountains. The artist used sharp lines to show the rough rocks and flowing water. Next, check out Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910) to see how he captured nature in other works.
