label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a rugged, snow-capped mountain in Mexico, possibly the volcano Iztaccihuatl viewed from near Ozumba or Cuautla. In the middle distance, a low and heavily wooded ridge stretches across the landscape at lower center. Rising in the background, the craggy and snow-capped peak of an immense mountain dominates the composition. It has several rocky ridges and pointed sub-peaks, and its snow-covered summit is, itself, extremely rugged.
