label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the moon's light reflecting off the surface of a riverin a rolling, mountainous landscape. The wide river curves into the distance from the foreground at right to the background at center. Above, the orb of the moon hangs in the twilight sky at center, as its light is intermittently reflected on the river's surface, interrupted by the shore's sharply undulating banks. An indistinct wooded landscape is visible in the foreground and middle distance at left. In the background at right, a jagged mountain range with two shap peaks stretches across the horizon.
