label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a portion of a distant mountain range--like the Adirondacks--and the vibrantly-lit clouds above it. In the middle distance, the contour of snow-covered treetops is loosely rendered. In the background, a mountain range with a large peak at left extends halfway across the composition before trailing off. Above, layers of puffy and hazy clouds are backlit by the sun.
