label: Description
content: Unfinished landscape sketch showing a view of the volcano known as Chimborazo in Ecuador. Dominating the composition at center, the mountain's rugged peak is permanently snow-capped and generally rounded in shape, with a sharp ridge with shaded declivities at right. It's lower slopes are snowless. Sky above is a muted shade of blue. The foreground and middle distance are only outlined in graphite, and suggest that we are viewing Chimborazo from a mountain pass. A large rock appears to jut out of the ground at center left.
