label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of sunbeams and vibrant clouds at sunset over the Catskills, as seen from a point on or near the artist's property in Hudson, New York. Along the lower margin, succeeding mountain ranges overlap one another as they extend obliquely into the distance. A bank of puffy clouds gathers just above these ridges. Above, two large beams of sunlight radiate into the sky at center left, like two spokes of a wheel. The sun itself is obscured behind a long, horizontal bank of clouds, while other wispy clouds hang above.
