content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Hohensalzburg Fortress in Salzburg, Austria, at sunrise. Green fields and other loosely-rendered vegetation comprise the foreground. In the middle distance at left, the imposing castle with tall, round towers sits atop a prominent hill and is bathed in the pinkish light of the rising sun. At right, the silhouette of a rugged mountain slope is shown in purple. In the background at center, the mountain known as Teisenberg is faintly rendered in a shade of blue slightly darker than the sky. Above, purple-blue clouds are shown near the upper margin.
