content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Toluca, Mexico, and the nearby mountains. Looking south-southeast from a hill northwest of the Iglesia del Carmen, the view includes the church (or the Cathedral of Toluca), sketchily rendered, in the lower right corner and, in the background at center, the dark, craggy peak of the stratovolcano known as Nevado de Toluca is visible. Hilly terrain and the city of Toluca are loosely rendered in the interceding middle distance.
