content: Landscape sketch showing views of mountains from Cuautla, Mexico. At upper left, a view of overlapping, rugged mountain ranges is visible.

content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing an indistinct view of rolling terrain and possibly a water feature in Mexico, with a faint sketch of a crouching horse. In the foreground at center, a series of stacked, horizontal lines might suggest a river. In the background, a rolling mountain range stretches across the horizon, viewed beyond an indistinct middle distance. Superimposed over this view at center is a faint, loose sketch of a crouching horse facing left.
