William H. Rau

The image shows a tranquil lake with trees framing the edges. The horizon is high, with a distant tree line and scattered clouds above. Trees, a small building, foliage, and rocks are visible. The color palette is monochromatic with sepia tones. The lake reflects the surrounding woodland.
