label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of Chimney Pond and the Great Basin of Mount Katahdin in Maine. In the foreground, the surface of the pond extends into the middle distance, where it encounters the heavily wooded opposite shoreline, which ascends slightly to the right. Behind, the sheer, rugged eastern mountainside of Katahdin dominates the scene, with its three overlapping washes at left and shadowy precipices throughout. Above, the mountain's rocky ridge creates a jagged contour near the upper margin, where a sliver of blue sky is also visible.
