label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a loosely rendered view of a vibrant sunset over dark, distant mountains--likely the Catskills viewed from Church's property near Hudson, New York. Puffy clouds hang in the sky at upper left while radiating sunbeams are visible above the mountain ridge at center. Nearby physicaly features--a sloping hill or possibly the bank of a river--are visible in the lower portion.
