content: Landscape sketch showing a view of towering, craggy alps looking west from the eastern shore of Hinterer Gosausee, near the town of Gosau in Austria. The lake's placid surface extends from the immediate foreground to the middle distance, where it is bounded by a steep and heavily wooded shore at right. Another rounded and wooded prominence is visible behind it in the middle distance at center, while in the background, the sheer karst pinnacles of Vordere Kopfwand and Gabelkogel are visible at center and right, respectively.
