Charcoal and marble dust on paper, unsigned.
15 1/2 x 22 1/2 in. (sight), 20 1/2 x 28 in. (frame).
Note: Often called 'Sandpaper Drawings', works such as this river landscape were made by applying a layer of adhesive to a paperboard support followed by a dusting of powdered marble that gave the surface a sparkle. The drawing itself was then made using charcoal. This technique became popular in the Northeast in the mid 1830s after a book describing the technique was published in London and New York. Used by anonymous itinerant artists, the technique was also very popular with women who were practicing draftsmanship as part of their education. Most of the subjects depicted in sandpaper drawings come from other sources, including Bartlett's Classic Illustrations of America and Currier and Ives prints.
