label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Watzmann in Bavaria, present-day Germany, viewed from near the town of Berchtesgaden. Viewed across a heavily wooded hilltop with a cliff in the middle distance, the twin, sharp, rocky peaks of the Watzmann rise high into the sky. The rightmost peak catches the pinkish light of the setting sun, as does a bank of clouds at upper right. Snow fields and rocky pinnacles between the peaks are clearly delineated.
