content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Ecuadorian stratovolcano known as Pichincha from the Chillo Valley, near the Hacienda Chillo. A steep and heavily wooded ravine snakes its way through the rolling landscape in the middle distance at center, while treetops and bushes are visible in the immediate foreground at lower center and left. In the background, the rugged ridge of Pichincha is visible across a hilly, wooded landscape with ravines. The mountain's numerous sharp peaks form a serrated horizon in the background.
