View North from Green Mountain

A pen and ink landscape sketch by architect Arnold William Brunner, this drawing captures a vista of rolling terrain descending toward water, with mountains visible across a distant bay. Brunner's technique employs fine parallel hatching to render topography and atmospheric depth, a method common to architectural studies of the nineteenth century. The notation at lower left identifies the viewpoint and location, suggesting this was drawn from nature as part of site research or travel documentation. Such sketches served architects as both technical studies and preliminary exploration of spatial relationships, informing later design work.
