content: Landscape sketch showing a loosely rendered view of a lightly wooded hilltop backdropped by rosy clouds at sunset, likely on or near the artist's property in Hudson, New York. The foreground and middle distance are comprised of the hill's grassy slope, which ascends to a ridge peppered with trees, at center. In the background, a golden, red-orange cloud backdrops the hill at sunset, while its upper portions are tinged in purple light.
