content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a large boulder in the woods of Mount Desert Island in Maine. Dominating the composition at center, the boulder is covered in brown lichen with other spots of white lichen along its upper ridge. A tree stump and a tangle of dry branches are show in front of the rock in the foreground. A mass of hastily-rendered green trees backdrops the scene, while two small patches of blue sky are visible in the upper right corner. The lateritious (brick-colored) ground is visible along the lower margin.
