content: Landscape sketch showing a loosely rendered view of Nevado de Toluca and the hill Tlacotepec from the city of Toluca in Mexico. In the middle distance at far left, an indistinct group of shapes is visible that may be a grove of trees or buildings, including a tall belltower. A shaded plain comprises the rest of the middle distance. In the background at center, the rounded form of Tlacotepec is prominently visible at center, backdropped by the craggy ridge and sharp peaks of Nevado de Toluca. The sharp peak at upper center is Pico de Aguila. Clouds are faintly rendered above.
