label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view among the European Alps, likely in Bavaria or Switzerland. Foreground is made up of rolling, wooded terrain, inclining to a steep hill that ascends out of frame at upper left. In the distance, a rugged, snowing mountain ridge looms over the landscape like a vertical wall of rock. Snow fields are nestled among the ridge's jagged peaks. Above, puffy clouds touch the mountaintops. Along the lower margin, the work's gray-brown ground is visible.
