label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Mt. Katahdin from the southern shore of Millinocket Lake in Maine. The lake's placid surface extends from the foreground and through to the middle distance, where it encounters a heavily wooded island at center left while, behind it, the opposite shoreline stretches horizontally across the composition. In the background at center, Mt. Katahdin is crowned with clouds as it looms over the scene. Several ridges and washes are highlighted in white gouache, while the mountain's ridge is sharp and serrated. At left, other nearby mountains are visible while South Turner Mountain is shown near the right margin.
