label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Mt. Katahdin in Maine, possibly as seen from the east near Katahdin Lake. In the immediate foreground at left, a tall, lone tree frames the scene. The undulating contour of dense treetops stretches horizontally across the scene, interrupted at right by a closer stand of trees. Dominating the view in the background at center, the pyramidal form of Mt. Katahdin, with its overlapping, serrated peaks, looms over the nearby forest.
