content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the mountains Grünstein and Hochkalter in the Bavarian Alps from a point near the town Berchtesgaden. In the foreground, a large home with white walls is nestled among a grove of trees beside a field at lower right. Dense woods and green pastures blanket the rolling terrain throughout the middle distance. In the background at left, the heavily wooded and steeply-sloped mountain known as Grünstein is shown with this flat peak. At center, the rugged, rocky mountain known as Hochkalter looms in the background at center with another craggy ridge extending out of view at right. A patch of blue is visible in the otherwise cloudy, sunset sky above.
