label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Millinocket Lake and Mt. Katahdin in Maine, from the southern shore of the lake near the artist's semi-permanent camp. In the foreground, the curving shoreline at right hosts a beached canoe beside a rock. The lake's surface extends across the foreground and middle distance, encountering multiple heavily wooded and rock-bound islands before reaching the distant opposite shoreline. Rising just above the opposite bank at center is a gentle rolling prominence known as Trout Mountain. Behind it, Mt. Katahdin's sharp peak and rugged ridge rise above the scene, extending several other mountains at left, including Doubletop Mountain. Beside Katahdin at right, South Turner Mountain is also visible.
