label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of preciptious snow-capped mountains in the Bavarian Alps, Germany, notably the Watzmann at left and possibly Hochkalter in the distance at right. Viewed from midway up a steep mountainside, the foreground consists of the various rocky washes and wooded areas that comprise the diagonal slope, which divides the composition from upper right to lower left. In the middle distance at left, the floor of a lush valley is shown with a village. The opposite side of the valley is visible in the background, made up of a bulging and rugged mountain range strewn with snowfields. At left, the Watzmann is visible with the Hoher Göll or Hochkalter obscured by clouds at right.
