label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Mt. Katahdin from the south shore of Millinocket Lake in Maine. Ripples on the lake's surface are visible in the foreground, while the lake itself extends into and through the middle distance. Fog appears to hang just above the water's surface, obscuring the view of the opposite shoreline. The wooded summit of a nearby hill peeks over the surface of the fog, while the pyramidal form of Mt. Katahdin looms, party enshrouded, in the background. Long bands of low-lying clouds hang around its summit. The sky above otherwise appears open.
