content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Taconic Mountains and wooded valley in Vermont, possibly looking toward Herrick Mountain. In the foreground, nearby rocks and plants (including red sumac) are shown beside a grove of trees. Beyond a hedge of bushes or treetops, a wide valley extends across the middle distance before encountering a heavily wooded range of hills and mountains in the background. One large peak looms above the rest in the extreme distance at center. At upper right, a small view of several trees on a curving hilltop is included.
