- Description
- Landscape sketch showing a view of sunbeams cascading over mountains in Jamaica. Three shaded prominences comprise foreground, while taller mountains are visible in the middle distance and background. Above, the sun shines through a partly cloudy sky, resulting in dramatic crepuscular rays, rendered in white gouache, that fall from the sky.
