label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing an imagined view of a landscape with a palm tree and a tower, likely derived from South American scenery. In the foreground at right, a large boulder and tall palm tree are situated on a bank beside a river that curves from the lower left corner to center. Perched atop a lofty, steep, and plant-covered bank, a tall tower with a domed crown is visible beside other structures--namely, a double-arched bridge that spans a waterfall in the middle distance at center. Two sharp mountain peaks are visible in the background at center right.
