content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the prominence known as Burgstallstein and the Schrainbach Waterfall along the shores of the Königssee in Bavaria, present-day Germany. In the foreground, the waters of the lake extend to the middle distance, where they encounter the steep, wooded shore of the Hirschau peninsula--out of which Burgstallstein abruptly rises. The Schrainbach Waterfall visibly cascades down the prominence, which looms over the lake at left. In the background at right, towering alpine peaks are largely veiled by low-lying clouds.
