View of Salzburg, Austria

Landscape sketch showing a view of the city of Salzburg in Austria. A greenish-yellow field extends across the foreground at center, leading to the Salzburg Christuskirche and its red spire, partially rendered and visible along the right margin. Multiple buildings are nestled in the middle distance among lush trees, three of which are churches, visible at center left. From left to right, the churches are the Salzburg Cathedral (with a large dome and two spires), St. Peter's Abbey (with two closely positioned spires), and the Kollegienkirche (the lowest one with a dome, at right). Behind them, the low, rambling hill that runs through the middle of Salzburg, known as the Mönchsberg, stretches across the middle distance. At far right, a building is shown nestled in woods along the hill ridge--possibly the Schloss Mönchstein. At far left, Hohensalzburg Fortress and its white walls and turrets are prominently visible atop the mountain known as Festungsberg. In the background, immense peaks of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps form a rugged horizon beneath an open sky with sparse, puffy clouds. At right, Untersberg looms over the scene, while in the background at center, Hoher Göll is visible.
