label: Description
content: Landscape and botanical sketch showing a view of trees and rocks on the road to Mocha, Ecuador, near Chimborazo. At center, the branches of one or two twisting, amorphous trees intermingle like writhing tendrils. Vines, ferns, and air plants hang off these branches and are nestled in the crux between them. Lush bunches of leaves are shown at upper center and upper right. At lower left, a group of boulders are visible beside the tangled branches.
