label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Mt. Lebanon range, and specifically the peak of Mt. Sannine, witnessed by Church while traveling between the village of Yahfoufa and the city of Baalbek in Syria. In the foreground, the rugged terrain of the foothills of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range is shown with jagged rocks, pinncles, and ledges throughout. This rocky prominence desends to an expansive valley in the middle distance, where a far-off village is visible. In the background, the Mt. Lebanon range forms a jagged and curving horizon, dominated by the round, snow-capped peak of Mt. Sannine at center left.
