content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the volcano Popocatépetl from the vicinity of Cuautlixco, Mexico. The foreground consists of flat terrain dotted with bushes that leads to a loosely rendered building--likely a church--in the middle distance at center. Behind it, two rugged hills are visible at center and left. In the background, the conical peak of Popocatépetl looms over the scene in outline. Its subsidiary peak, known as "El Fraile" is visible on its left slope.
