label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the mountains and lush terrain around the Hacienda Chillo, near Quito, Ecuador. In the foreground, tree-covered, rolling terrain is visible at center and right before flattening out to a plain that comprises the middle distance. In the background, a low but rugged and dramatic mountain range extends across the horizon with its many ridges clearly delineated. Broken clouds above the ridge fragment the sun's light into luminous rays, which fall upon the earth in bright columns rendered in white gouache.
