label: Description
content: Seascape sketch showing a view of two icebergs (or possibly the divided crown of a single iceberg) off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Situated along the flat horizon across an expanse of dark brownish water, the bergs' sharp, broken forms lend it the appearance of a craggy amphitheater. The interior of the iceberg at right is a luminescent hue of light bluish-green. Along the horizon at right, the outline of another, unfinished iceberg is visible. The hazy sky behind is rendered in warm, muted tones of orange-gray.
