label: Description
content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing a view of clouds below the cliffs at the Catskill Mountain House near Catskill, New York. In the foreground at right, the rocky cliff edge is visible, topped with several trees. Extending across the composition at center are groups of puffy, billowing clouds that partly obscure the view of the Hudson Valley below. The Hudson River, however, is still visible beneath the clouds at lower center.
