Description:
Landscape sketch showing a view of roofs and treetops in Ambato, Ecuador and the surrounding, mountainous landscape. In the foreground at center, a portion of a tiled roof is visible at right with an awning that leads to a thatched roof at left. Behind them, multiple trees are visible including one--at center--that is particularly tall. At lower left, a small sketch of a man wearing a brimmed hat and a bandana is visible beside four trees that resemble cypresses.
