label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a hillside--possibly Long Hill, where the artist built his estate known as Olana--in Hudson, New York at sunset. The foreground and middle distance are comprised of the grassy, sloping hillside which ascends from left to right to a rounded summit at far right. A stand of trees follows the contour of hill's gentle slope. In the background at left, a summit in the Catskill Escarpment is rendered in a bluish-grey, and possibly represents Windham High Peak. The sky above is rendered in a gradient from light blue to golden yellow, as small groups of light and wispy clouds are illuminated by the light of the setting sun. The low lying clouds shown at center are tinged pinkish-orange.
