content: Landscape and architecture sketch showing a view of houses in the town of Berchtesgaden in present-day Germany. Positioned at center right across bushes in the foreground at right, the facade of a chalet-style house faces obliquely to the left while two chimneys are visible on its roof. In the background at left, the facade of another large house is shown beyond several trees. In the lower left corner, the steeple of a church is faintly rendered. In the background, the rugged, craggy ridge of an alpine mountain range backdrops the scene, with a wooded mountainside at right. Hazy clouds are included in the sky above.
