Lake George

Amerikanische Malerei 1850–1857, after 1851

This painting depicts a body of water surrounded by mountains and dotted with small, tree-filled islands. At the bottom of the painting is a green area with several tall trees and a small dirt path. Beyond this area, a hill slopes down to the water below. The water is painted in light blue and gray tones, and the hazy mountains beyond the water are painted in light greens and blues. The blue sky above the scene is full of puffy white clouds.
