content: Landscape sketch of a large mountain beyond a body of water, likely a lake in New York or Maine. The lake's water extends from the foreground to the middle distance, where it encounters the opposite shoreline. In the background at center, a large, pyramidal peak towers over the lake. Above, sun beams pierce through a cloudy atmosphere, shining down on the mountain below.
