label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Lake Hallstatt in Austria, looking south from its northern shore. The nearby, gravelly shore is visible in the foreground at lower center, while the lake's surface extends into the middle distance, where a spit of land with two buildings interjects into the lake at center. At right, sheer, nearly vertical mountainsides with wooded ridges plunge into the lake, while in the background, another rugged mountain range hems-in the lake at left. In the extreme distance at center, the sharp summits of the mountain known as Krippenstein peeks over nearby ridges.
