label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a likely composed view derived from scenes in Mexico. In the foreground at right, a large, partly ruinous structure is shown with a dark doorway and front steps as it frames the view. At lower left, a seated figure is shown from behind as they gaze towards the view. In the middle distance at center, seen beyond a short, interceding hill, another large structure--perhaps a church or a castle--is perched prominently on a gently sloping hill. Loosely rendered clouds stretch across the sky, above.
