"Gezicht op Windermere" is a 1796 aquatint by Francis Jukes. The artwork depicts a view of Windermere Lake, the largest lake in England, in the Lake District. The scene is dominated by a calm body of water with a small island in the middle distance, and a small sailboat is sailing away from the viewer in the right middle ground. Two figures in the foreground appear to be loading hay onto a cart near the shoreline, showcasing the rural life of the Lake District. The print captures the serene beauty of the English countryside.
