Lake Squam and the Sandwich Mountains

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A landscape painting depicting a lake. The lake is on the right side with the shore on the left and right sides in the bottom foreground. A small outcrop with large boulders leading down to the lake's edge sits in the bottom right corner. A similar shoreline with a few boulders and trees runs along the left bottom corner. A tree with sparse leaves sits on a rocky slope in the foreground on the bottom right. The lake's surface reflects the sky. It extends to tree-covered land and an island on the right in the distance. Land juts into the lake from the left midground. Mountains and low hills are in the background under a cloudy sky with a bright area on the left.
