content: Landscape sketch showing a view of mountains and a valley in Mexico. In the foreground, a tree grows out of loosely rendered terrain at lower right. The middle distance consists of the relatively flat valley floor, which has sporadic trees. In the background, the terrain quickly ascends to a serrated mountain ridge, visible in the upper portion. At upper left, a single, sharp peak is shown next to three shorter, but also sharp peaks at upper right. Mountain range continues out of frame at left and right.
