label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of the Königssee in Bavaria, Germany, and the precipitous alpine mountains that form its abrupt shores. The emerald water of the lake extend from the foreground into the middle distance, where it meets steep mountainsides. On a small field on the shore at left, St. Bartholomew's Church is visible. At right, a massive, rugged slope extends out of the picture frame. Across a gully at center, a partially wooded, pointed peak is shown at left. In the background, a rocky, snowy, and rugged mountain range forms a high horizon.
