content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a street in the town of Mompox (now Santa Cruz de Mompox) along the banks of the Magdalena River in Colombia, viewed from the town's cemetery. In the foreground, a nearby path next to weeds and flowers extends into the middle distance and merges with the wide road, which is lined with houses with thatched straw roofs. At right, several tall trees are visible around the homes. Situated in the middle of the street at left, the Church of Santo Domingo with its square, dual-windowed belltower. The other square tower, visible at center, may be that of the Oratorio Inmaculada Concepción, which was possibly under construction at the time.
