label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the mountains known as Hoher Göll and Hohes Brett in the Bavarian alps near the town of Berchtesgaden, in present day Germany. In the immediate foreground at right, a river that may be the Königsseer Ache or the Ramsauer Ache curves through a rolling and heavily wooded landscape. In the middle distance at center, a small, round prominence is shown. In the background, a soaring range of the Bavarian alps backdrops the scene with multiple discernable peaks. The Kehlstein is shown at far left, the Hoher Göll at center, and the Hohes Brett at right. Lightly-rendered clouds float just above these peaks.
