About this work
Landscape sketch showing a wooded island on the surface of Ambajejus Lake in Maine. Dominating the composition at center, the small island hosts at least five living trees at right, while multiple dead trees and barren trunks stand at left. The island is otherwise covered in grass and other undergrowth.
