Early Morning Camp Near The Shore of Lake Urumiyah c. 1892

American painter Edwin Lord Weeks (1849-1903) painted "Early Morning Camp Near The Shore of Lake Urumiyah" in around 1892. The painting captures a serene moment in time, with a group of figures gathered around a campfire in the foreground. The calm, muted tones create a sense of peace and solitude, while the distant mountains and the expansive Lake Urumiyah offer a sense of scale and grandeur. This painting is a prime example of Weeks' focus on the cultures and landscapes of the Middle East, a region he often traveled to and captured in his paintings.
