label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of mountains in Maine during autumn--possibly a view of Hamlin Peak and the Great Basin from the Sandy Stream to the southeast. A loosely rendered expanse of dark green, with a more detailed grove of red and yellow deciduous trees at left, comprises the foreground. Relatively flat, densely wooded terrain, with a patch of fiery foliage at center, makes up the middle distance. In the background at center, the rugged face of a wide, expansive mountain is visible besdie another sloping ridge at left. The central mountain's ridge extends into the distance at right and out of the frame. Above, patches of blue sky are visible though puffy white and grey clouds.
