notes: label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of two pine trees rising behind a large rocky outcropping on Mt. Desert Island in Maine. The immediate foreground is comprised of the boulder and the hastily rendered green grass atop which it rests. The lateritious (brick-colored) ground is visible along the lower margin and at lower right. Dominating the composition at center, the titular pair of pine trees are rendered in meticulous detail, with with small branches and pinecones included. A heavily wooded ridge extends across the horizon in the background, while a band of puffy clouds hang in the sky above.
