About the piece
This 1871 oil study by Albert Bierstadt exemplifies the luminist style of the Hudson River School, depicting the dramatic topography of the Sierra Nevada. The composition uses a high vantage point to overlook the shimmering lake, with rugged cliffs and a solitary pine tree framing the expansive, golden-hued valley.
