label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a bucolic mountainous landscape, possibly in Vermont or elsewhere in New England. Light grey ground covers the entire lower portion of the leaf. In the foreground, a barn and another out building are visible in a grassy, sloped pasture that descends from right to left. At right, a grove of reddish-brown trees is visible. Beyond this pasture, low-lying clouds intercede between this hill and another in the middle distance at center left. This distant hill is covered in trees, many of which have turned orange or red for the autumn. In the background at left, the summit of distant and heavily wooded mountain is also visible, while the cloud bank comprises the majority of the scene at right. A clear and open sky is shown above.
