Drawing, Mountain Climber Resting
This is a Drawing. It was created by Winslow Homer. It is dated 1868–69 and we acquired it in 1912. Its medium is black and white crayon on brown laid paper, blackened on verso for transfer. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
This study, probably executed in the studio, of a man presumably
resting after a hike up Mount Washington was blackened with graphite
on the reverse in order to transfer the figure from this paper to the canvas
Mountain Climber Resting (the figure in the drawing and painting are
the same dimensions) or to another study for the print The Coolest Spot
in New England—Summit of Mount Washington.
