label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Mt. Katahdin from the southeast shore of Katahdin Lake in Maine. In the foreground, numerous rocks emerge from the water near the lake's shore, which is visible in the lower right corner. The lake extends across the middle distance, where a heavily wooded island or spit of land is visible along the right margin. The lake's opposite shore, covered in trees, is visible in the distance beneath Mt. Katahdin, which rises into a bank of low-lying clouds. The mountain's steep flanks are highlighted in whitish yellow and its rugged, rolling ridge forms a high horizon. Pamola and Baxter Peaks are obscured by clouds, while Hamlin and Howes Peaks are visible at upper center and upper right.
