label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the mountain known as the Traveler from the southern shore of Katahdin Lake in Maine. The rippling surface of the lake extends through the foreground and into the middle distance, where it encounters the lake's heavily wooded opposite shoreline. The terrain at left begins to ascend to the lower slopes of Turner Mountain, just out of view at left. In the distance at center, the rugged silhouette of the Traveler is visible through a slightly hazy atmosphere. The mountain itself is a light purple tone. The open sky above is rendered in a gradient from light green along the upper margin to warm yellow along the horizon.
