label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a distant town (possibly Hudson, New York) viewed from an elevated perspective (possibly the artist's property nearby). In the foreground, a split rail fence is visible in the lower left corner and forms the boundary of a grassy and partially wooded field that extends into the middle distance. A dense grove of dark green trees is included at left. In the distance at center, several small, white buildings--possibly comprising the town of Hudson--are tucked within a rolling landscape that extends into the hazy background. Above, an immense and billowing cumulus cloud rises high into the sky, where another long, dark, and horizontal cloud bank is visible along the upper margin.
