label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a mountainous landscape in Colombia or Ecuador, with a conical volcano--possibly Cotopaxi--as the central focus. Foreground is made up of rocky prominences and wooded hillsides broken by steep gorges. A large building is perched atop the hill at left. The middle distance is comprised of low, flat depression in the topography. In distance, sharp mountains lead up to what is likely a volcano, which looms over the landscape.
