label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a view of the Hudson surronded by the foothills and rugged peaks of the Catskills. In the foreground, a group of loosely-rendered trees and other vegetation is shown on a gentle slope, with the top of a rounded hill just beyond it. In the middle distance at left, the water reflects the light of the crescent moon, which hangs in the sky above. At right, several sharp peaks of the Catskill Escarpment are visible as the range extends from the middle distance to the background at center.
