content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a mill by a river in Catskill, New York. Indistinct foliage stretches across the immediate foreground while a tree frames the scene at left. In the middle distance at right, a mill building stands on the wooded bank of stream that winds through the landscape and curves out of view at left. Other partially-leaved trees and other vegetation are visible in the middle distance at center. In the background, the rugged ridge of the Catskill Escarpment forms a rolling horizon.
