label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Mt. Katahdin in Maine from across a nearby body of water, whose surface stretches across the foreground before encountering the heavily wooded opposite shoreline. The body of water appears to be a relatively small pond. Beyond the shore, the terrain rises in the middle distance before giving way to the snow-strewn face of Mt. Katahdin. A low-lying bank of clouds obscures the mountain's peak, while another peak is visible behind it at left, while at right, the Katahdin ridge is visible.
