content: Landscape sketch of a vibrant winter over the Hudson River Valley, looking southwest from the artist's estate near Hudson, New York, known as Olana. A prismatic gradient from red to blue punctuated with variously bright and dim clouds defines the twilight sky. In the background at right, the Catskill Escarpment, painted in a deep, dull purple, looms over the Hudson River, which may be blanketed in fog in the middle distance at left. Snow-covered landscape of Olana and Red Hill visible in foreground, loosely painted.
