content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Reiter Alpe in Bavaria (present-day Germany) from the vicinity of the town of Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden. A group of trees is visible beside a fence in the foreground at lower right. Grassy, lush terrain fills a wide valley in the middle distance, hemmed-in by wooded mountainsides at left and right. Some houses are sprinkled throughout the landscape. In the background, prominently featured at center, the serrated peaks of Reiter Alpe catch the orange-pink light of the rising sun. Hazy, white clouds are visible in an otherwise blue sky above.
