label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the sea from the hills along the southern coast of Jamaica, east of Kingston near the former plantation called Bloxburgh. In the foreground along the lower margin, two lush and rolling ridges overlap one another while a portion of the coastline below is visible in the middle distance at right. The deep blue water of Caribbean Sea extends from the middle distance and into the background, where it goes hazy due to moisture in the atmosphere. Wind patterns and currents are visible along the water's surface. Just above the distant horizon, a line of billowing, white clouds are visible.
