About this work

This print shows a quiet, misty scene with a small island in the middle of a lake. Tall, bare trees stand on the island, their branches dark against the pale sky. The water around them is rough, with wavy lines that blur the edges of the trees’ reflections. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to suggest movement in the water and leaves. The whole scene feels cool and still, like a foggy morning. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
