label: Description
content: Landscape sketches showing three views of plants, buildings, and terrain near Guaranda, Ecuador. At upper right, a house with a terra cotta tiled roof is shown upon a rise in the ground, surrounded by bushes and two trees at right. A road passes in front of the house, flanked by a gate at right and possibly a shrine at left. A mountain range is faintly visible in the background. At lower right, an immense, bulging mountain range is visible with a sharp peak at upper right. The range descends to a cleft at left, beyond which another rugged mountain range is shown. At upper right, a small sketch of a vine of the taxo, or banana passionfruit plant is rendered in some detail. The plant's leaves, buds, and blossoms are all clearly articulated.
