label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view overlooking the Liguanea Plains in Jamaica, which were north of the city of Kingston at the time. In the immediate foreground, red soil that probably makes up a road or path is shown beside a densely vegetated slope that descends towards the middle distance. The flat, fertile plains of Liguanea extend horizontally across the composition, before encountering the ocean shoreline at right and a mountain range at center and left. Puffy, low-lying clouds cast patchy shadows over the mountains themselves, while the sky is otherwise blue and clear.
