content: Landscape sketch showing a view of cloud-capped mountains near Orizaba, Mexico (or possibly the stratovolcano known as Citlaltépetl or Pico de Orizaba). Viewed across flat terrain that comprises the foreground and middle distance, the rugged, pyramidal mountain rises high into the sky and is crowned in a bank of billowing white clouds. The upper portions of the peak are visibly covered in snow fields and rocky outcroppings.
