label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of road through dense woods in Mexico. Situated at center, the road extends from the foreground into the middle distance--tapering as it goes--before curving out of sight. Masses of billowing vegetation made up of trees and bushes flank the road on either side.
label: Description
content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing a view of extremely rugged mountains in Mexico. Viewed across flat terrain that is heavily shaded in the middle distance, sharp mountain peaks rise abruptly. At center left, the two foremost peaks are cast in shadows, likely by unseen clouds above. At right, an immense, craggy mountain range extends obliquely into the background.
