notes: label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Mt. Katahdin and Turner Mountain from the southeastern shore of Katahdin Lake. A semi-submerged rock is included in the immediate foreground at left. Another large boulder is positioned on the nearby shoreline at left, beside a pair of deciduous trees (likely birch). The lake's surface stretches into the middle distance, where the opposite shore is visible. Multiple mountains stretch across the terrain in the background: the pyramidal Katahdin (and Pamola) at left, Hamlin Ridge and Howe's Peaks at center, and the sharp, wooded summit of Turner Mountain at right. Above, the sun struggles to pierce a thick blanket of clouds, whose colors and forms, along with those of the mountains, are reflected in the subtly rippling water below.
