Description
Landscape sketch showing a view of clouds over a plain bounded by mountains in Jamaica. In the foreground, a loosely sketched hill gives way to a flat plain in the middle distance, which is partially enshrouded by the rolling clouds above. The plain extends to the background, where it meets a mountain range at left. In the upper left corner, a floating sketch of a hat or woven basket is visible.
