label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of the mountainous landscape near Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, in present-day Germany. A forest of evergreen trees stretches across the foreground. In the middle distance, two wooded slopes at left and right descend towards the center, where they converge around other rolling terrain. In the background, a rocky pinnacle rises before a sheer, jagged mountain range--both of which are partially veiled by a low-lying bank of puffy clouds.
