label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing an elevated view of an alpine lake, possibly the Königssee in Bavaria, Germany. In the immediate foreground at left, a tall, slim conifer tree frames the view. At right, a steep, wooded slope curves into the distance and forms the abrupt shoreline of a lake with emerald-blue water. The lake extends from foreground to the middle distence, then out of frame at left. The tan color of the work's ground is visible along the lower margin.
