label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a cloudy sunset over the Catskill Mountains, as viewed from or near the artist's estate in New York known as Olana. In the foreground, a dark and loosely rendered hill gently descends from left to right, while a rolling and lush landscape extends through the middle distance. In the background, the lavender-gray silhouette of the Catskill Escarpment faintly emerges from a mass of clouds that obscures the range entirely at left. The golden glow of the setting sun brightly illuminates the clouds at center right, while tinging the clouds above in red. At upper left and upper center, patches of blue sky are visible through the clouds.
