label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of autumn foliage in the Green Mountains of Vermont, with Edmund's Peak prominently visible in the background at right. In the foreground, a log fence divides various pastures and meadows. The parcel of land at center is covered with red and orange fall foliage while several trees around it are similarly colored. At right, an expansive meadow extends into the middle distance, where a dark, heavily wooded ridge ascends to a rounded prominence at left--likely Walker Mountain near Clarendon, Vermont. In the background, another dark ridge is visible, featuring a sharp, triangular mountain at right known as Edmund's Peak (the same mountain featured in Church's finished work "Ira Mountain, Vermont," whose title is a misnomer). Above, bands of grey clouds stretch across the sky amid patches of blue.
