content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Chimborazo and the surrounding mountainous landscape from a hill near Guaranda, Ecuador. In the foreground at lower center, a road curves through the rugged terrain nearby with a figure hiking up it towards the viewer. At right, half of a thatched hut is visible atop a slight rise in the landscape. At left, a group of agave plants are highlighted in white gouache while other bushes and vegetation are visible along the slope at lower center. A hill is shown in the middle distance at center, in front of a range of rugged mountains that form a serrated horizon at center. In the background at left, the rounded peak of Chimborazo is visible above this sharp range.
