Labeled a preliminary drawing for a work called *Discovery of the Land*, this sheet records an artist's early planning rather than a finished image. Studies like this were typically made before a mural, book illustration, or large commission was executed, letting the designer test arrangement, figures, and setting. Themes of discovery and settlement recur throughout American public art of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, so the sketch is worth studying for how a composition developed in stages. Its placement under historic architecture hints at a link to a building or decorative program, though the record does not say so directly.
