content: Landscape sketch showing an imagined view of a lush river landscape. Reeds along the riverbank stretch across the foreground at the lower margin. A large tree with a full canopy in the middle distance at center, across the reflective and rippling river, which possibly opens at left to the sea. A small sailboat is visible on the water's surface at left while mixed foliage is shown at right. Puffy clouds hang in an otherwise open sky above.
