Scene on Stella Lake, Wawona Station

Isaiah West Taber

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a still body of water with a small rowboat occupied by five people. Tall trees grow alongside the bank, with their reflections in the water. A sliver of grassy land and a tree trunk are visible on the right side. The horizon is obscured by dense trees blending into the background. The image has a nostalgic, sepia-toned palette. The lighting is soft, creating gentle shadows in the scene.
