Lake and Mountains 1893

Edgar Degas, best known for his paintings of dancers, also explored landscapes. "Lake and Mountains" (1893), rendered in pastel, depicts a serene scene of a lake nestled amidst rolling hills. The artist’s signature style is evident in the way he captures the soft contours of the landscape with delicate brushstrokes, creating a sense of tranquility and gentle light. Degas's interest in natural beauty, especially in the rural landscapes around his home, shows a different facet of his artistic talents.
