content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a rocky cascade between the towns of Macugnaga and Ceppo Morelli in the valley of the Anza River (Valle Anzasca) in northern Italy. In the middle distance at upper center, water streams over the edge of the falls and tumbles forward through a rocky crevice. Patches of grass are visible along the steep mountainsides that bound the waterfall at left and right. In the background, beyond the edge of the fall, several conifer trees are loosely rendered. Water highlighted in white gouache.
