About this work
Landscape and botanical sketches showing views of mountains and an evergreen tree in Mexico. At center right, a craggy, pointed mountain peak is visible beyond overlapping ridges that create a shallow "V." At left, a tall evergreen tree, rendered darkly, is shown with a tall canopy broken up into bunches.
