Road leading to the lake is a 1890 oil by Paul Cezanne, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
This painting shows a winding dirt path that leads to a body of water. The path is lined with trees and bushes, and the water is visible in the distance. The scene is depicted in a style that emphasizes geometric shapes and bold brushstrokes. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The trees and bushes are rendered in shades of green, while the water is depicted in blues and grays. The sky above is a pale yellow, which adds to the overall sense of warmth and serenity.
