label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a loosely rendered view of rugged mountains, likely including Iztaccihuatl, around a valley in Mexico. A small hill is visible in the foreground at left, while another hill with bushes extends out of view at right. Across a flat valley in the middle distance, a small range of hills at left is dwarfed by a wide mountain with rugged, serrated peaks, looming over the scene in the background at center (likely Iztaccihuatl). Multiple snowfields and ridges are visible along the mountain's flank.
