content: Landscape sketches showing two views of the mountainous scenery around Berchtesgaden, Bavara, in present-day Germany. Spanning the upper half of the composition, a distant, pyramidal mountain is shown beyond a wooded hillside in the foreground, and rendered in a shade of light purple. Above, peach-colored clouds hang in an otherwise blue sky. In the lower right corner, a vignette showing a church with a tall, rounded steeple in the foreground and a rugged, snowy mountain range in the background, is loosely rendered.
