| Description: | Under a blue sky with a few clouds, A snow-covered Mount Shasta is viewed from a flat-bottomed river valley with a large mountain range rising to the right in the mid-distance. The river appears in the middle of the scene and flows directly to the front center of the painting, rippling around several rocks. At the left edge, two tall, slender broadleaf trees reach into the sky above the rest of the forest; a group of half a dozen darker conifers stands in front of the forest. In the foreground, a sandy river bank gives way to rocks and a bumpy grassy area. On the right bank again a few dark green conifers stand in front of a broadleaf forest beyond.
