label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a nocturnal view of an alpine mountain range and valley illuminated by the light of a full moon. In the foreground, nearby wooded and rocky mountain slopes descend away from the viewer into a narrow mountain valley in the middle distance at center. Towering above the valley, a serrated and snow-strewn mountain range is bathed in the warm light of the full moon, which rises above a jagged ridge at left. Dimly glowing clouds hang in the sky above.
