content: Landscape sketch showing the rolling, alpine terrain near the town of Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, present day Germany. In the foreground at left, a house is visible on the edge of the woods by a clearing or body of water. In the middle distance, a wooded, undulating landscape stretches across the composition, with two possibly farm buildings at far right. In the background, rugged, sharp, and snow strewn mountain ranges stretch across the distant horizon.
