content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Chimborazo and neighboring mountains from the town of Guanujo, Ecuador. The grassy and rocky slope of the hill upon which the artist stands is visible in the foreground at lower left, gently descending towards center. Across a rolling valley that comprises the middle distance, the rugged foothills of Chimborazo ascend to the mountain's lofty, snow-capped peak at upper center, rendered in white gouache. Imposing mountain ridges flank Chimborazo at left and right.
