label: Description
content: Atmosphere and landscape sketch showing a view of a rainstorm over a mountainous landscape, likely in the Hudson River Valley. At upper left, a loosely defined cloud pours rain in diagonal streaks. At center, a dotted line curves from lower left to upper right, possibly delineating the boundary between falling water and sunlight. In the distance at lower right, a dark, shaded cloud is visible in front of a line of rainclouds that emit rain in a shower and lower center, above a wooded mountain ridge. Nearby trees and a distant mountain are included at lower right.
