content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Orizaba, Mexico and the nearby mountain range known as Sierra Negra, viewed from beside the Rio Orizaba. In the foreground, the roof of a house and vegetation surrounding the river are visible. Other houses and town buildings extend through the middle distance, where the square belltower of the Orizaba Cathedral rises above the other structures. In the background at left, two sharp peaks of the Sierra Negra steeply descend toward the center, where other distant mountains are visible along the horizon. The sharp mountain visible at center right is known as Cerro Tia Simona.
