content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a rolling, bucolic landscape in or near Hudson, New York. Treetops are visible in the immediate foreground at lower right, while flat meadows are shown just beyond it. In the middle distance, wooded hillsides at left descend to flatter, yet still rolling terrain with trees at right. An apparently open sky is shown above.
label: Description
content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing a view of a dynamic sunset sky over a mountainous landscape, likely in the Hudson River Valley. In the foreground at lower right, a wooded, sloping hillside is loosely rendered. A valley--likely with a river--cuts obliquely though the middle distance, while two succeeding mountain ridges comprise the background. One sharp peak is visible in the foremost ridge at left. Above, several clouds are brightly lit by the setting sun.
