label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing two views of steep mountainsides along the Königssee in Bavaria, present day Germany, and their reflections on the lake's placid waters below. The upper view, covering the majority of the leaf, shows a wooded slope diagonally descending into the water, with two rugged alpine peaks in the background. Below, a loosely-rendered mountainside is mirrored on the water's surface, creating an asymmetrical diamond shape.

content: Verso: Loosely rendered landscape sketch showing a view of a vibrant sunset above three overlapping, serrated mountain ridges. Puffy clouds hang just above their sharp peaks, with a variously-lit sky behind.
