label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view among the European Alps in Bavaria near Berchtesgaden or the Rhone Valley of Switzerland. A grassy hilltop fills the foreground, with a tree at lower left. A heavily wooded and steep hill abruptly rises out of the landscape in the middle distance at left. In the background at center right, an immense, rocky, and conical mountain is prominently visible and part of rugged alpine mountain range that disappears in the dark, cloudy distance. A loosely rendered bank of warm-tinted clouds stretches across the upper margin.
