label: Description
content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing a loosely-rendered view of the Catskill Escarpment beneath an immense billowing cloud bank, likely viewed from Church's home near Hudson, New York, known as Olana. The mountains are dark with shadow and the sky in the background appears to be dark, as well, contrasting with the white cloud that dominates the composition. Sky and clouds are somewhat unclear here.
