English: A small lake of meandering shoreline is pictured in autumn when the mountain forests are rich in mellow coloring. The narrow foreground shore and contiguous sides are a marshy green and greenish-yellow, mingled with which are various lighter and darker notes of sundry coarser grasses, weeds, or flowers of the open spaces or a wood. The lake, occupying the middle distance, with these meandering arms of shore reaching about it, has for its farther shore a forest hillside, now rich in varied hues of vermilion, mahogany-brown, yellow, and deep green,—the hilltop sloping from a high horizon on the left to a low and distant one on the right, where beyond the lake some barn-like structures are suggested, rising above the woods. The sky is a mass of gray-white and creamy-yellow clouds, spun over a robin's-egg blue, and its notes with those of the chromatic woods are reflected the silvery mirror of the lake.
