label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Mount Katahdin in Maine beyond a nearby body of water from a perspective south of the mountain. In the foreground, dark, wooded banks at left and right frame a view of a river or lake that reflects pinkish-red sunset hues and hosts a sailboat at right. A small spit of land juts out into the water at lower center. Across a dark, hilly middle distance, the rugged contour of Katahdin looms over the landscape at center, rendered in brownish-purple. Baxter Peaks peak is visible at center and Pamola Peak at right. Above, fiery red sunset clouds hang in an otherwise gray and cloud-filled sky.
