content: Landscape and seascape sketch showing an unfinished view of foaming surf breaking against rocks along the coast of Mt. Desert Island in Maine. In the foreground at right, whitewater froths around a dark, semi-submerged rock. In the middle distance, the dark ocean water encounters large, piled boulders at right and a rugged rock wall at left. The lateritious (brick-colored) ground is visible along the upper and lower sections of the leaf.
