label: Description
content: Botanical sketch showing a view of a twisted pitch pine tree, likely near the location of the former Catskill Mountain House, above the village of Catskill, New York. Positioned along the leaf's vertical axis at center, the tree is windswept, as its contorted branches predominantly grow to the right. Each needle, seemingly, is rendered.
