About the piece

This late 18th-century sepia wash drawing by Mary Danby captures a serene view of Lake Morat from the heights of Avenches. Large, detailed trees frame the composition, leading the eye through rolling hills toward the distant water and mountains, all rendered in a warm, monochromatic palette.
