content: Landscape sketch showing a view of large, billowing clouds over a bucolic landscape in East Hampton, New York. Along the lower margin, a rooftop is obliquely shown nestled among a grove of trees behind two slightly sloping hills that overlap one another in the foreground. Two large, billowing clouds rise high into the sky above--one forms a bulging summit in the distance at center.
