River Landscape ca. 1600 Jaques Saverij Jaques Saverijs later drawings imitated, and emulated, Pieter Breugel the Elder (1525/30-1569) so successfully that they were often identified as the work of Breugel himself. River Landscape is one such sketch. Although similar to Breugels mountain landscapes of 1559-61, the Lehman sheet relates in both style and subject matter to Saverijs etchings, and probably dates to about 1600. Saverijs drawings of the period are more loosely modeled than is compatible with Breugels precise yet feathery technique.. River Landscape.

Sketchbook William Trost Richards (American, 1833-1905). Sketchbook, 1867. Bound sketchbook with drawings in graphite on beige, moderately thick, smooth textured wove paper, Closed: 3 5/8 x 5 1/4 in. (9.2 x 13.3 cm). Richards was a prolific artist who, as a leading member of the American Pre-Raphaelites, embraced the Ruskinian principle of truth to nature. Sketching outdoors played a significant role in his quest for accuracy of representation. Throughout his long career and extensive travels, he seems to have always carried a sketchbook with him, filling the pages with drawings of the places he encountered. The Brooklyn Museum owns more than twenty-five of Richardss sketchbooks, including the ones on view here. Serving as pictorial diaries of his journeys, they also demonstrate the variety of his working methods, ranging from quickly rendered outlines to carefully modulated tonal compositions to finished color studies.
