content: Landscape study showing a view of an alpine lake surrounded by towering mountains. Framed by a dead tree at left, the waters of the lake extend from the foreground to the middle distance, where they meet a wooded shoreline. Hills rise abruptly at left and right while a steep and sharp stone mountain rises just beyond them to the right. A jagged and snow-capped mountain is visible in the background at center. Above, the sky is filled with clouds.
