Mt. Rigi at Dawn is a 1910 by Frank Short, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a quiet lake in the foreground, its surface calm and reflecting the sky. A large, misty mountain looms in the background, its slopes soft and shadowy. A few small birds float on the water, and a lone boat sits near the shore, barely visible. The artist used subtle shading to make the mountain feel distant and mysterious. The light is soft, almost like dawn, which gives the whole scene a peaceful mood. If you like this style, look up *sfumato* next.
