Lake with Water-Lilies is a 1901 oil by Stanisław Witkiewicz, a Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a serene lake scene, with water-lilies floating on the surface. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, with trees and foliage visible in the background. The artist has used oil paint to create a sense of depth and texture, with visible brushstrokes adding to the overall effect. The color palette is muted, with shades of green and blue dominating the scene. The painting is a beautiful example of landscape art, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world it depicts.
