label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a storm dumping heavy rain upon the wooded hills of Mount Desert Island, Maine. These heavily shaded hills form the rolling horizon near the lower margin. Above, in immense and billowing stormcloud unleashes sheets of rain--here articulated as hasty vertical pencil scratches. Rain falls in an isolated area, like a weak microburst. In the background at right, puffy clouds hang in an otherwise open sky.
