Description
Presumably at the edge of a small mountain lake, we look across its surface to the middle and far distance. Although using atmospheric perspective to some extent, the hills and sky also register as a single plane differentiated by line and color. The uncanny effects of space are most clearly observed in the lake's reflections, especially the two similar trees at center: just their tips are tall enough to be seen over a hill's curvature, causing their reflection in the lake to appear as two isolated blocks of color.
