label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of Mt. Katahdin at sunrise, as seen from the eastern shore of Katahdin Lake. The mountain's rocky, pyramidal peak--prominently visible at cetner--is touched by the warm light of the rising sun, which crests the ridge at right and casts the peak in a hue of purple. The mountain and its surrounding ridgeline are clearly reflected in the placid waters of the lake below, which occupy the foreground. In the middle distance, the heavily wooded opposite shoreline stretches across the composition, largely enshrouded. Above, small patches of blue sky are visible through a bank of peachy, cream-colored clouds.
