Cayuga Lake Toward Ithaca

William H. Rau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a lakeside view from a slightly elevated perspective. Lush trees with dense foliage frame the scene, leading towards the expansive lake. The calm lake reflects muted tones. Rolling hills with fields, trees, and occasional structures are seen on the horizon. The sky above has soft clouds. The color palette is primarily earthy browns and greens, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
