label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of Mt. Katahdin in Maine from Turner Mountain to the east. Trees and a nearby rocky prominence are visible in the immediate foreground at right. Across a loosely-rendered and heavily wooded valley with a pond (likely Whidden Ponds) in the middle distance, the rugged and steep eastern face of Mt. Katahdin rises into the sky. Possibly shown at sunrise, the mountain is bathed in the bright light of the rising sun, which pours over the darkened ridge at right, casting Katahdin's peak in hues of orange and yellow. Above, the blue sky is filled with wispy cirri clouds, variously illuminated by the sun at right.
