label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of Mt. Katahdin at sunrise from the southeastern shore of Katahdin Lake. Generally peak, the paint application is light and the composition has a notably loose and unfinished appearance. The surface of Katahdin Lake comprises the foreground and middle distance, while a nearby shoreline--possibly with a large boulder--is visible to the left. In the distance at center, the long ridge of the Katahdin massif is bathed in the pink and red light of the rising sun. The pyramidal peaks of Baxter and Pamola are visible at left, Hamlin Ridge at center, and Howes Peaks at right. At far right, the lower slopes of Turner Mountain are visible, while the rest of the mountain is cut out of frame.
