content: Landscape sketch showing a view of heavily wooded mountains surrounding a lake during autumn, possibly on Mt. Desert Island in Maine. In the immediate foreground at right, a branch and several reeds extend out of the lake water, which extends to a sandy or dirt beach the middle distance. Several trees along the shoreline are colored in vivid autumn hues of deep red and orange. Behind the shoreline, a heavily wooded mountain ridge rises abruptly and is characterized by several furrows and rounded peaks. Above, a blue and open sky is visible.
