label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view possibly looking east from the artist's property on Long Hill in Hudson, New York. Pictured from an elevated perspective, the foreground includes a wide, green field that descends to dark, wooded terrain in the middle distance. A possible stone wall is included at the base of the slope at lower left. Just beyond these woods, a low ridge of dark, wooded hills stretches horizontally across the composition, while another distant mountain range is visible in the background. Above, banks of low, puffy clouds simultaneously cast a dark shadow on the terrain below while being brightly lit by the sun's light. The sky is otherwise rendered as a gradient from deep blue to a lighter green-blue.
