label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a southwestern view of the Hudson River and Valley from the artist's property on Long Hill in Hudson, New York--likely from the artist's studio on the hill's southern slope. In the foreground, a partially wooded hillside descends from right to left, and reveals a view of other hills and a section of the Hudson River in the middle distance. The river's dark, heavily wooded opposite shoreline is visible at center. Striations of dark clouds hang in the darkening sky.
label: Description
content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing a view of a tree in front of a body of water, backdropped by a rugged mountain range. In the foreground at center, the upper half a lush deciduous tree is visible--its trunk and lower half extending out of frame. Beyond it, a body of water--possibly a river--stretches across the middle distance and reflects the sun's light from above. In the background, the outline of a rugged mountain range forms a high, undulating horizon. Above, loosely-rendered puffy clouds are brightly illuminated by the sun.
