About the piece

Painted in 1913, this work by John Lavery captures the quiet majesty of the Swiss Alps in winter. The artist uses a restrained palette of icy blues, soft grays, and crisp whites to render the play of light and shadow across the snow-clad slopes of the Mönch, a famous peak in the Bernese Oberland.
