Description:
Landscape sketch showing a view of mountains looking southwest from the Mexican railway depot known as Huingo, near the town of Araró on the southeastern corner of the Lago de Cuitzeo. In the foreground at left, a weeping willow and two other trees frame the view of a mountain ridge in the middle distance at center. This ridge features a prominent, sharp peak at center, highlighted in white gouache. A hill in front of the mountain descends to the right while bushes and other vegetation are visible before it.
