content: Landscape sketch showing three views of the rugged banks of the Danube, as seen from the river itself. At upper left, a steep, rugged, and wooded mountainside casts a shadow on the river as it plunges into into its waters. At lower left, a rock formation showing layers of geological stratification is visible above a grove of trees on the river's edge. At right and oriented to the right, a distant, rocky mountain with a flat top is visible beyond overlapping, wooded mountain ridges.
