Description
Landscape sketch showing a view of autumn trees in the hilly landscape of Vermont. In the foreground, a grassy hillside descends gently from left to right, and into the middle distance, where a grove of trees is visible at the base of the hill. At center, a fiery orange tree stands out among other dark green and red trees and brown vegetation. In the background, another hillside is loosely rendered.
