content: Landscape sketch showing a distant view of Mt. Katahdin in Maine from a hillside along the southern bank of Ripogenus Lake. In the foreground, a clear-cut hillside strewn with tree stumps descends across the composition from right to left, until it meets the lake in the lower left corner. Heavily wooded foothills and ridges overlap one another thoughout the middle distance, while the rugged southern face of Mt. Katahdin is visible in the background, striated with rocky crests. Mountainous ridges extend faintly to the left.
