label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Schoodic Point from the east coast of Mt. Desert Island in Maine, possibly near Schooner Head. In the foreground, one wave arches through a small cove and begins to break into whitewater at lower center. At lower left, small stones curve around the coastline and lead to rocky point with craggy cliffs that extend into the scene at center left. Two confier trees surmount the cliff. Across the body of water in the middle distance--known as the Mt. Desert Narrows--the rollings hills of Schoodic Point are visible in the background through a hazy atmosphere. Above, some wispy clouds hang in an otherwise open sky. The brick-colored ground is visible along the lower margin.
