label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Chimborazo and neighboring mountains from the town of Guanujo, Ecuador. Grassy, rolling terrain stretches across the immediate foreground, partially obscuring the roofs of two thatched huts, which peak over a grassy berm at center. Across a rolling valley that comprises the middle distance, the foothills of Chimborazo ascend to the mountain's lofty, snow-capped peak at upper center. A bank of billowing, luminous clouds crown the summit and drift off to the right. Rugged mountain ridges flank Chimborazo at left and right.
