label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of foothills and a lake, or possibly a wide river, near Mt. Katahdin in Maine. In the immediate foreground at lower center, a loosely-rendered log and boulder rest on the nearby shoreline, while the middle distance is largely comprised of the water's surface and the opposite, heavily wooded bank. In the background at center and right, steep hills or mountains rise and disappear into a bank of low-lying clouds, which is partially broken throughout.
