label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing an expansive view of a lush valley in Jamaica surrounded by steep mountains. In the foreground, the nearby grassy slope descends toward the middle distance, where it meets another steeper and darker ridge with a rounded peak at left. At right, a tall bamboo tree bends diagonally into the scene, framing a view of a green, rolling landscape that extends toward rugged mountains on the horizon. A small plume of smoke is visible on the left slope of the small hill at center. Above, a bank of low lying, puffy clouds stretch horizontally across the horizon while hazy clouds otherwise fill the sky.
