content: Landscape sketch showing a view of laundry hung out to dry on a clothesline on the slope of a lush, grassy hill, likely in or near Hudson, New York. White, violet, blue, and yellow items of clothing hang from a line supported by wooden poles at either end. At left, the clothesline continues beyond the pole, and another clothesline is also visible at right. Beneath the rightmost poles, a large basket with white laundry is included. Light, puffy clouds hang in the otherwise blue sky above.
