label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson River Valley, looking southwest from artist's property in Hudson, New York. In the foreground, treetops on a hill are briefly visible at center left. In the distance at right, the southern end of the Catskill Escarpment forms a jagged horizon, with Overlook Mountain being the tallest peak at center right. At lower left, the Hudson River is shown snaking through the valley's rolling terrain. Above, puffy and wispy clouds intermingle in a brightly-lit late afternoon or sunset sky.
