content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing a view of nearby overlapping mountain ridges, viewed from an elevated perspective in or near Catskill, New York. In the immediate foreground at left, a portion of a birch tree is shown. In the middle distance, a steep, rugged, and wooded mountain slope descends from left to right and overlaps another nearby wooded ridge that descends from right to left. Beyond, mist or low-lying clouds hover at the same height as the mountaintops. In the background at left, hazy clouds fill the sky.
