label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of Mt. Katahdin across a lake south of it--likely Pemadumcook or Ambajejus. In the foreground, the sandy shoreline curves away from the lower margin. The great expanse of the lake's surface extends from the foreground to the background, and hosts several wooded islands in the middle distance at center and center right. A figure paddles a canoe at center right, leaving a small, rippling wake behind them. In the middle distance along the far right margin, a large campfire is visible on the lakeshore. In the background at center, the round, wide, and sprawling form of Katahdin is partly shaded at right by clouds that hang just above the summer. In addition to these puffy clouds, a large, grey cloud bank inhabits an otherwise blue sky.
