label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing the second part of a somewhat unclear view of rolling rapids in a wide river. At right, the water flows in ribbons over a ledge and into a slight depression in the river, causing the surf to froth and churn as it passes over rocks on the riverbed. These roiling waters continue out of frame at left. In the background, layered mountain ridges are faintly rendered extending into the distance.

content: Verso: Sketch showing a frontal view of a rowboat approaching the viewer on the water's surface as it carries three figures. Oriented upside-down at lower right.
