label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Mt. Katahdin from a sandy beach on the southeastern shore of Katahdin Lake in Maine. The immediate foreground is rendered in some detail, with various submerged rocks and gravel visible through the crystal clear and subtly rippling lake water. A small portion of the beach is visible in the extreme lower left corner. The heavily wooded shoreline of the lake bounds the lake at far left. The lake's surface, which extends from the foreground the middle distance, reflects the triangular shape and warm hues of Mt. Katahdin, which looms over the landscape in the background. The mountain's lower, wooded slopes and bald, alpine ridge are clearly visible despite the distance. The sky above is clear and greenish-blue.
