content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Magdalena River in Colombia and the surrounding terrain. The river's surface extends and tapers from the foreground into the middle distance, where it curves around a bank. At left and right, heavily wooded banks frame the view of the distant shoreline and the overlapping mountain ridges beyond. At lower right, a detail of the steep riverbank and its dense vegetation is included.
