content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a lake and its wooded shoreline, likely in the Bavarian or Bernese Alps. In the foreground, a grassy bank is shown at left while submerged rocks are visible just beneath the surface of the lake. The water extends from the foreground to the middle distance, where a curving, wooded shoreline hems in the like. In the background, a forest is loosely rendered in shades of green and brown.
