label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Streeke Pond (pronounced "Strakie") and its heavily wooded banks in Catskill, New York. A loosely-rendered shoreline with leaves and brush stretches across the foreground, leading to a tall, leafless tree at right. In the middle distance, the pond's waters extend across the composition and around curving shorelines into the background. The pond is bounded by wooded shores on all sides, which are heavily populated with barren trees. Some evergreens, however, and other foliage are also visible around the partially frozen pond.
