label: Description
content: Verso: Atmosphere and landscape sketch showing a view of a dynamic, cloudy sky over Lake Millinocket in Maine. Along the lower margin, the surface of the lake is shown bounded by distant mountains that form a rolling horizon in the background. Above, a chaotic mixture of puffy clouds are variously illuminated, likely by the light of the setting sun.
