label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the mountain known as the Watzmann, from near the town of Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, present-day Germany. Grassy terrain extends from the foreground into the middle distance, where it encounters a steep and heavily wooded hill with a flat top at right, and a steep mountainside at left. In the background at center right, the northern peak of the Watzmann catches the pink light of the setting sun, as does a distant mountain range at center. The sky above is filled with warmly hued, almost golden clouds.
