label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of mist and clouds over the Hudson River and the Catskills, as seen from Church's home, Olana, near Hudson, New York. In the foreground at center, the top of a nearby wooded hill is visible. In the middle distance at center, the Hudson River curves around a wooded prominence situated across the water in the village of Catskill. Above, large, layered, billowing clouds--predominantly shown at left--bring misty rain and low-lying clouds, suggested by the faint pencil strokes throughout the composition. Below the cloud bank, the rugged Catskill Escarpment is partially shown, obscured by clouds.
