label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of the great basin of Mt. Katahdin at sunrise, as seen from the northeastern side of Chimney Pond. A rocky outcropping stretches across the foreground, visible along the lower margin. Chimney Pond is shown beyond at lower right, rendered in shades of reddish brown. In the middle distance, the heavily wooded opposite bank ascend toward the looming mountainside behind. Above, the craggy and rocky eastern face of Katahdin climbs toward the sky, while the red light of the rising sun colors it in shades of purple. Just above the jagged ridge at upper right, a lone puffy cloud hangs in an otherwise blue and open sky.
