White Lake 1890

"White Lake" is a pencil sketch by John Marin, created in 1890. It features a minimalist depiction of a landscape, dominated by a vast, empty sky and a line of trees in the foreground, with a series of hills rising in the distance. The simplicity of the composition and the delicate lines of Marin's sketch convey a sense of tranquility and a connection with nature. This small artwork reveals an early exploration of landscape by Marin, who later became known for his bold, abstract style.
