label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the sunset over the Catskill Escarpment, looking northwest from Church's property near Hudson, New York. In the distance at center, the dark peaks of Acra Point and Windham High cast streaky shadows across the sky to the left, as the sun sets immediately behind them. The rugged, rolling Catskill landscape extends across the horizon to left and right. Above, layers of variously illuminated and enshrouded clouds form a dramatic sunset with patches of open sky at right.
