label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Watzmann from the grounds of the chateau in Aigen near Salzburg, Austria, looking southwest at the sharp peaks of the Watzmann, near Berchtesgaden, Bavaria. A grass knoll stretches across the immediate foreground before giving way to a flat expanse in the middle distance--possibly a meadow or body of water. An island of vegetation is visible at center. In the background, looming mountain ranges increase in size as they extend away from the viewer, culminating in a dramatic view of the sharp, snow-strewn peaks of the Watzmann at center.
