label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing the first part of a panoramic view of an elevated plain within the extremely rugged, mountainous landscape of Colombia, near the town of Mojarras. A rough, nearby ridge extends across the foreground along the lower margin, while, just beyond it at left, a rocky prominence is delineated in some detail. In the middle distance, an elevated plain--articulated as a long, horizontal line--stretches across otherwise rugged terrain. Sharp mountains form an undulating horizon in the background.
