label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of Togue Pond and Mt. Katahdin from the southern shore of the pond. The blue-purple surface of the water extends from the foreground to the middle distance, where a wooded island is shown at left. A vibrant patch of fiery red foliage is visible on the left side of the island, resembling a bright bonfire. The lake's opposite shoreline, covered in trees, stretches across the background before rising to the peaks of Abol and Rum Mountains behind it, rendered in warm shades of brown. Beyond them, the purple silhouette of Mt. Katahdin's south face is partially veiled by a low-lying bank of clouds. Patches of blue sky penetrate the clouds at upper right and upper left.
