content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the mountain known as Monte Rose and a bridge in a valley near the town of Pontegrande, Italy. In the foreground, the sandy bed of a stream is flanked by boulders at right and a group of small trees at left. The stream continues into the middle distance, where it is spanned by a bridge with multiple arches at center. The valley's heavily wooded and steep mountainsides ascend to the upper corners at left and right. In the background at center, the rugged and snow-capped summits of Monte Rosa loom over the scene.
