Lake George, New York

John Frederick Kensett

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white painting of a lake with a mountain range in the background. The lake's surface reflects the surrounding landscape. A cluster of trees and bushes lines the right shoreline, with a steep drop to the water. A single large rock protrudes from the lake's surface. Mountains are visible in the background under a hazy, cloudy sky.
