content: Landscape and atmosphere sketch showing a view of the Hudson Valley at sunset, perhaps following a storm. Billowing clouds in a dull purple are backlit by the sun and a brightly illuminated sky, while, below, a crimson red defines the sky at the horizon. The Catskill Escarpment is visible in the background at left, while a lush, green landscape with a tree fills the foreground along the lower margin.
