content: Unfinished landscape sketch of sunset behind mountainous in Jamaica, likely the Blue Mountains. Orange-pink crepuscular rays (sunbeams) emanate from behind the horizon amidst a blue-green sky at twilight. Brown mountains painted in oil give way to their skeletal, graphite outlines in the lower half of the work.
