label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Hudson River Valley, likely looking southwest from the artist's property in Hudson, New York. The tops of three hills are visible in the foreground--two of which are dark and heavily wooded. In the middle distance, a portion of the Hudson River is shown, as well as the rolling landscape beyond. In the background, a faint mountain range forms an undulating horizon. Above, loosely rendered clouds appear to be variously lit.
label: Description
content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing a view of the sunset over a mountain range, possibly the Catskills. A dark and loosely rendered mountain range stretches across the lower portion, while a river is likely shown below. In the tumultuous sky above, numerous wispy cirri clouds intermingle as they are diversely illuminated by the setting sun.
