label: Description
content: Landscape study showing the Königssee in Bavaria, Germany and the nearby woods and peaks that are reflected in its emerald waters. Viewed from an elevated perspective, the lake's placid waters extend from foreground to middle distance, where they meet the precipitous slopes of neighboring mountains. At right, a lush, wooded slope is visible with two structures in a field on the far shore. The nearby mountains and trees are exquisitely reflected in the waters of the Königssee.
