label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Catskill Escarpment--specifically the section from Kaaterskill High Peak (left) to Blackhead Mountain (right)--as seen from the artist's property in Hudson, New York. The surface of the Hudson River is shown along the lower margin, while the rolling terrain on the opposite side of the river comprises the middle distance, where the village of Catskill lies. In the background, the Catskill Escarpment creates a rugged horizon. Kaaterskill Clove is visible at left, flanked by the peaks of Roundtop and Kaaterskill High Peak at left, and South Mountain at right. On the far right of the ridge, the summit of Blackhead mountain is also visible. Vague clouds are faintly suggested in the sky above.
