content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Aegean Sea and Greek coast from an elevated point in Athens, Greece. A small, white structure occupies the lush, green foreground at left. This terrain slopes slightly to the right and leads to a view of the sea in the middle distance. In the background, the mountainous Greek coast is visible beneath a sunset sky. Two hasty pencil sketches of a curved row of columns standing upon a platform and supporting an entablature are visible along the lower margin.
