label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing the view from the top of a hill with a structure. The foreground is comprised of the surface of the nearby hill, while an octagonal structure--possibly some kind of tower or a memorial--rises out of view at upper right. Its near side is shaded. At left, nearby treetops are visible above a dark and rolling landscape that comprises the middle distance and background. Bands of puffy, shaded clouds float in the sky just above the horizon. At lower center, an isolated view of a billowing cloud is included.
