label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a rugged Andean landscape with human-made structures in the foreground and middle distance. In foreground, a memorial with a cross and two domestic strcutures are visible at lower left, beside a road or trail. Steep ravine separates foreground from middle distance, where a large church is perched on a cliff at center right. Nearby hills and valleys lead to a rugged and craggy mountain at upper left--possibly Cotopaxi. Another conical volcano is visible in along the horizon in the background at upper right.
