About the piece

Painted around 1850, Alfred Jacob Miller’s luminous landscape depicts a mountain lake enveloped in atmospheric haze. The warm, golden light of the sky reflects softly on the water, while the foreground is anchored by rich autumnal foliage and rocky terrain, characteristic of the Romantic era's fascination with the American West.
