label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of St. Bartholomew's Church backdropped by the rocky, serrated ridges of the Watzmann behind it, as seen from the eastern shores of the Königssee or the lake itself. Near the lower margin, the domed roofs of church are visible, partly reflected in the water below. Behind it, a wooded ridge descends to the right, while in the background, the extremely rugged mountainside of the Watzmann rises high into the sky.

content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing two views of the steep shores of the Königssee in Bavaria, present day Germany, separated at center by a horizontal line. Above, the waterfall known as the Schrainbach cascades over rocks on a wooded slope into the water below. In the lower drawing, a massive boulder or rock formation diagonally descends into the water to the left, while the tops of multiple conifer trees are visible behind it at left.
