content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Hudson River Valley and the Catskill Mountains from the artist's property in Hudson, New York, known as Olana. In the foreground at right, a nearby group of trees on a hill are loosely rendered. Down this hill, in the middle distance, a wide portion of the Hudson River near the village of Catskill is visible. In the background, the southern portion of the Catskill Escarpment forms a rolling horizon. One light cloud hangs in the sky above at right.
