About this work

This painting shows a calm lake with two people in a small boat near the shore. On the left, a big tree with green leaves grows on a rocky bank. In the distance, across the water, there’s a cluster of buildings with tall spires, maybe a castle or church. The sky is soft and hazy, with warm light glowing over everything. The water looks still, almost like glass, reflecting the colors around it. This painting is at the Museum of Ethnography.
