label: Description
content: Incomplete landscape sketch showing a view of mountain ridges beneath a tumultuous, cloudy sky. The contour of an unrendered mountainside snakes along the upper portion of the composition, while the mountainside itself is only negative space where the gray ground is visible. Windswept clouds stretch along the upper margin, and break at upper right to reveal a view of two rugged mountain peaks in the background.
