label: Description
content: Landscape and botanical sketches showing views of trees and the shoreline along the Magdalena River in Colombia. The upper half of the composition shows a view of the undulating and heavily wooded riverbank along the Magdalena. The river itself comprises most of the view while distant mountains are visible in the background at right. In the lower half, three botanical sketcehs are included: an indistinct mass of trees and vegetation on a rock at left, a palm tree called "Santa Ynes" at lower center, and another captioned "milpesos" at lower right. Both palm trees are similar, but the milpesos palm has a slightly larger canopy of fronds.
