content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a lush river valley in the Bavarian alps near the town of Berchtesgaden, in present-day Germany. Viewed from an elevated perspective, a river at the bottom of a deep, wooded gorge in the foreground rushes around a steep, curving bank at left. The relatively flat valley floor extends into the distance at center right and is bounded at left and right by steep mountainsides. In the background at right, the looming twin peaks of the Watzmann are faintly visible.
