About this work

This print shows a quiet lake surrounded by rocky hills and snow-capped mountains. A lone tree stands on the left shore, while a small boat floats near the center. The sky is dramatic, with thick clouds casting shadows over the water. The title at the bottom reads *Lac Lomond*, meaning this is a view of a real place. The artist used a sketchy, almost sketch-like style to capture the mood of the scene. Check out how this was made using lithography.
