content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the sun setting behind the Catskill Escarpment, as seen from the artist's property near Hudson, New York. At center, sun rays emanate from behind the mountain ridge, as the sun has just dipped below its silhouette. Overlook Mountain is clearly discernable at left, while Kaaterskill Clove is shown at right with the twin sawtooth peaks of Kaaterskill High and Roundtop. Puffy clouds that are variously illuminated hang in the sky above.
