label: Description
content: Partially finished landscape study showing a view of Mt. Katahdin from the eastern shore of Katahdin Lake. In the foreground, nearby rocks and logs are rendered in graphite and partially submerged in the lake's water, which extends to the heavily wooded opposite shoreline in the middle distance. Katahdin's pyramidal peak--colored a pinkish-peach by the light of the setting sun--looms over the surrounding landscape in the background at center. The mountain's ridge extends out of frame to the right. Above, a grey, purple, and lavender cloud bank dominates the twilight sky.
