label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a cloud-filled sunset sky over a rugged mountain ridge–likely the Catskills viewed from the artist's property near Hudson, New York. The rough, undulating contour of the mountain range stretches horizontally across the composition and features a tall, rounded peak at center. A mixture of variously lit, wispy and puffy clouds intermingle in the sky above.
