content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the sunset sky over East Hampton, New York. A view of the horizon stretches across the composition at center, with a line of nearby treetops possibly comprising the lowest layer of this compressed view. Beyond this line, a long bank of puffy and billowing clouds stretches extends across the entire horizon, with a prominent peak at center. Above, sporadic wispy clouds hang in an otherwise open sky.
