A broad sandy or gravel clearing curves through low vegetation, with a forested hill rising behind and an open field to the left. A dark evergreen stands in the right foreground. The view is identified as Castine, Maine, a town on a peninsula in Penobscot Bay. By the early 1900s Castine was known as a summer colony, and the surrounding pine woods and rocky coastal ground fit that setting.
