Pen and ink, approx. ? × ? cm (image only). The editors of the Library Edition
describe the image as “a mountain scene”
(Ruskin, Works, 2:364 n. 1).
The foreground is taken up by a large boulder and a pine. Approaching the declivity between these obstacles, a male figure, accompanied by a dog, carries a bundle on his shoulder.
The intended location and a possible original image that Ruskin may have copied are unknown. On the same page, the drawing is pasted above another drawing,
" target="_self">Lake Scene with Building on Piers;
however, no connection between the drawings is evident, except for their similar, comparatively small rectangular shapes, which made their pairing convenient.
