label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view looking westward down the valley of the Lammer River, a river that joins with the Salzach near Golling, Austria. In the foreground, a slope covered in evergreen trees descends from right to left. The artist stands on this elevated slope, which descends to the valley floor in the middle distance at center. Highlighted in white gouache, the Lammer River snakes its way through the valley, which is bounded at left and right by rugged and heavily wooded mountain ranges. In the background, similarly rugged mountain ranges form an undulating horizon, with the craggy and snow-capped Hinteres Freieck articulated in white gouache at upper left.
