content: Landscape and atmosphere sketch showing a view of a dramatic cloudy sky over a mountainous landscape, likely in or near the Catskills. In the foreground and middle distance, various curving and undulating lines likely represent a nearby river with bordering foothills. In the background, a rugged mountain range with a sharp peak at left forms the horizon. Above, hazy and puffy clouds stretch across the sky, making for a dramatic atmosphere.
