content: Landscape sketch showing a view looking southwest over a foggy Hudson River Valley from the artist's property in Hudson, New York, known as Olana. In the foreground, a hillside covered in dead grass and patches of snow descends from right to left, leading to a view of a tree-covered hill in the middle distance at center left. At center, a heavy bank of fog covers the Hudson River and much of the valley. In the background at center, the purple peaks of Overlook and Plattekill Mountains are visible. Above, the light of the setting sun illuminates the edge of a high altitude cloud bank in bright golden orange. Sky bathed in luminous orange glow. A patch of saturated blue sky is visible at center.
