Sketchbook, Marines and Landscapes

Occasionally, Richards used pen and ink to create remarkable little sketches. In these drawings, he modeled his delicately outlined forms with skillful hatching and cross-hatching, linear techniques for shading and modeling learned early in his career as an illustrator. This pastoral vista is probably a view of Newport or neighboring Jamestown.
