Español: Otoño en Vermont

Un boceto al óleo sobre cartón beige muestra una ladera de pradera iluminada por el sol, con un árbol dorado que brilla en el centro y árboles rojos y naranjas en las pendientes. Al fondo, montañas azules se desvanecen en un cielo neblinoso, y hay rocas en la hierba del primer plano.

Português: Outono em Vermont

Um esboço a óleo sobre papel-cartão bege mostra uma encosta de campo iluminada pelo sol, com uma árvore dourada brilhando no centro e árvores vermelhas e alaranjadas nas encostas. Ao fundo, montanhas azuis se dissolvem em um céu enevoado, e pedras aparecem na grama do primeiro plano.
