Cleveland Museum of Art

Mountain View with Water by Edward Louis Laurenson. The painting depicts a mountain range with two prominent peaks. The mountains are dark gray and have a rough texture. The peak on the left is taller and more pointed, with a visible stream or waterfall on its face. The peak on the right is shorter and wider. The mountains meet at a point in the center, with a small gap between them. The sky above the mountains is cloudy and yellowish-gray. In the foreground, there is a body of water that reflects the mountains. On the left side of the painting, there are several small buildings, possibly houses or a village. The buildings are yellowish-brown in color and have dark roofs. The overall color palette of the painting is muted, with shades of gray, brown, and yellow. The painting is signed by the artist in the bottom-right corner. The background of the painting is a light yellowish-beige color.
