Yellowstone Lake

F. Jay Haynes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape view over a body of water towards a shoreline with trees. The horizon is high, dividing the image in two with hills or low mountains in the distance. The sky has soft, fluffy clouds, adding depth. The water is calm with slight ripples, creating tranquility. The color palette is muted with a warm sepia tone. A small area of land extends into the water on the right, with trees. Some twigs protrude from the water closer to the viewer.
