content: Landscape sketch of a heavily wooded vale in the mountains of Jamaica. In the foreground, a banana plant is visible at lower left, as well as a bamboo grove at lower right. In the middle distance, the opposite face of this ravine is visible, where a yam farm can be seen at center left. A human made structure is positioned above the farm atop the hill, highlighted in white gouache. The crest of the opposite ridge descends from left to right, giving way to a view of mountains extending to the horizon at center.
