label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the cascades of the Ausable River near Keeseville, New York. In the foreground, the river's water rushes around a rocky bank at right as it cascades down small, stepped falls at center. In the middle distance, beyond a wider point in the river, a taller, more dramatic waterfall is visible between two rocky, rugged cliffs on either side. These cliffs lead to wooded slopes that extend out of frame at left and right. Above the falls, a bridge spans the river and leads to at least three structures slightly obscured by treetops.
