Summer Day on Conesus Lake

John Frederick Kensett

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A serene lake scene with a grassy shoreline and a line of trees on the left side. A dirt path runs along the shoreline. People are sitting on the grass and in a rowboat on the lake, with one person rowing. The lake is calm with a reflection of the sky. There are hills in the far distance. The sky is grey with some clouds.
