label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of Mt. Katahdin in Maine, likely from the the northern shore of Lake Millinocket, near Sandy Stream Beach. In the foreground, the nearby beachy shoreline curves from lower center to center right and then out of frame before returning to view in the middle distance along the right margin. Small, white waves quietly crash on the sand. Across the pond's rippling waters, the heavily wooded opposite bank stretches across the middle distance. In the background at center, the massive, sprawling southern face of Katahdin is prominently visible, colored in a grayish purple. The open sky above is rendered in a gradient from greenish blue to a warm yellow.
