label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the peaks of the Watzmann near Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, present-day Germany. In the immediate foreground, a fenced and walled area--possibly a courtyard--is minimally shown at right, with the tops of conifer trees and a small hill visible just beyond. A lush, flat valley with a small farm comprises the middle distance. In the background, two massive wooded ridges stand before the towering, snow-strewn, and fang-like peaks of the Watzmann, shown above.
