content: Landscape sketch showing a loosely rendered view of alpine mountains around Berchtesgaden, present-day Germany. At center, a dark, sharp peak appears to be foremost summit in a ridge that extends into the background at left and right, where multiple serrated peaks are visible. At left, a heavily wooded ridge in the middle distance at left descends toward the center. Above, a mix of puffy clouds inhabit an otherwise clear and open sky.
