content: Landscape sketch showing a view of St. Bartholomew's Church on the shores of the Königssee in Bavaria, in present-day Germany. Lake waters extend from the foreground to the middle distance, where they meet a grassy shoreline upon which the church is built. At center, the church's stark white walls and reddish-brown onion domes are reflected in the water below it. In the background, the towering, rocky mountainsides of the surrounding alps dramatically backdrop the scene.
