content: Architecture and landscape sketch showing a view of a house in Orizaba, Mexico and the mountains the surround the city. In the foreground at center, a small rectangular house is viewed obliquely as two possible figures are loosely sketched in front of it. Fragments of other buildings are included at left. In the middle distance at right, a tall, square belltower is situated on the summit of a nearby steep hill. In the background, the mountains surrounding Orizaba are blanketed in low clouds. The three peaks at center left are likely the mountains known as Tres Cruces.
