Pen and ink, approx. ? × ? cm (image only). The editors of the Library Edition
describe the image as “aiguilles”
(Ruskin, Works, 2:364 n. 1).
The intended location and a possible original image that Ruskin may have copied are unknown.
The distant aiguilles are drawn with a light touch to suggest distance. In the darker foreground, a tiny figure perches precariously at the edge of a jutting rock to survey the scene.
