label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of sunbeams cast over a mountainous landscape in Jamaica at twilight. Rugged, sharp, and layered mountain ridges extend from the middle distance to the horizon, where rays cast by the setting sun dramatically emanate into the sky, like spokes of a wheel. Few clouds hang on either side of the sunset, at left and right, but the sky is otherwise open.
