content: Landscape sketch showing a view, likely in the vicinity of Mexico City, Mexico, of mountains seen across rolling terrain. In the foreground, a group of buildings are loosely rendered in a small prominence at lower left. Indistinct rolling terrain extends through the middle distance to a rugged mountain range in the background. An undulating ridge stretches across the horizon, with the outline of a sharp, triangular mountain looming above it at upper center.
