label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a rainbow arching over the rolling terrain of Church's property, known at the time as the Farm. Possibly showing a southward view, this composition features what is likely Church's first studio on the property in the foreground at right. Trees and other vegetation are visible at the base of this hill, while other rolling prominences stretch across the middle distance. At left, the lower portion of a rainbow's arch is shown amid a diverse sky filled with puffy and hazy clouds. The Hudson River is likely shown in the background at right.
