label: Description
content: Landscape and architecture sketch showing a view of an rugged mountain range with craggy pinnacles--almost certainly the Tennengebirge--above a house in the town of Abtenau, Austria. In the foreground at lower right, a house with a chimney and weathervane is viewed obliquely. Behind it, a steep mountain ridge abruptly rises to three sharp and rocky peaks in the background at upper right. This ridge extends into the distance at left, where another mountain range with towering pinnacles forms a serrated horizon.

content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing a focused view of an extremely rugged mountain ridge in the alps near Abtenau, Austria. In the middle distance at left, a heavily wooded hill with a sharp summit frames a view looking up at several sharp, rocky peaks and pinnacles. The mountainsides at right are highlighted with white gouache.
