Description
Landscape sketch showing distant view of a mountainous landscape in Jamaica, likely in the Blue Mountains, with mist and billowing clouds at sunset. Branches and treetops at bottom foreground rolling hills in middle distance, which are rendered in shades of green and brown and are surmounted by mist. Green mountain range in distance is backdropped by clouds variously enshrouded from and illuminated by the light of the setting sun.
