content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a village along a river in Ecuador, seen from the water. In the foreground, the water reflects the forms of the buildings on the bank in the middle distance. Three figures travel in a canoe at left. In middle distance, multiple long buildings are indistinctly rendered along the shore, with a taller tower at right. At center, a prominent palm tree is visible. In the background, a vibrant sunset shines above rugged, wooded hills.
