content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a river valley and nearby mountains in the Bavarian alps near Berchtesgaden, present-day Germany. At right, wooded foothills ascend to bald, rocky peaks, with a towering, jagged ridge at far right. At center, a river winds its way through a narrow and lush valley, bounded by hills and mountains on either side. In the background, a sharp, serrated mountain ridge comprises the distant horizon at left.
