label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of large mountains across a plain in Mexico. A wide, grassy plain extends across the foreground and middle distance until it encounters a range of rolling hills in the background. Behind these hills, a small, dark peak is visible, which itself is backdropped by an immense conical mountain, possibly the volcano Popocatépetl. Its sharp peak is flanked by puffy clouds at upper center.
