label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing the first part of a panoramic view of sun rays cascading through clouds onto the wooded terrain below, as seen from Church's home near Hudson, New York, known as Olana. At right, the sharp, pyramidal peak of Overlook Mountain looms over nearby foothills and the Hudson River, which is loosely-rendered in the foreground at lower center. In the background at center, other distant peaks of the Catskills are visible along the horizon. Above, a cloud bank is shown stretching above the landscape, with the suggestion of sun rays, or perhaps rain, at far right.
