content: Landscape sketch showing a sunset over mountainous terrain in Jamaica, with a separate figure sketch. At center, a cloud blocks the sun, whose light illuminates the cloud's edges. Sunbeams burst across the rugged landscape through a gap between the cloud and the mountaintops, rendered in bright white gouache. At upper left, a separate, floating figure sketch of a woman carrying a pot on her head is included.
