label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view from an elevated perspective of the sunset over expansive and indistinct terrain. In the foreground, the green tops of trees are visible, and seemingly descend down the slope of a hill. In the middle distance, a loosely rendered landscape extends to an indefinite horizon, over which the setting sun illuminates the sky in shades of yellow, orange, and red.
