File:Lake Among The Hills By William Hart, 1858.jpg
Notes from Kloss, William, et al. Art in the White House: A Nation's Pride. Washington, D.C.: The White House Historical Association, 2008:
"This large and spacious landscape combines a peaceful, intimate foreground and middle ground with a panoramic view of the plains in the distance. It is capped with a sweep of sky where azure blue alternates with the mother-of-pearl and fleecy white of the clouds. The whole is freshly painted in a light pastel palette, except for the contrasting darker, richly toned left foreground, which anchors the composition and provides entry into the pictorial space. The narrow lake has been identified as Lake Mohonk near New Paltz, New York. The lake lies in the Shawangunk Mountains, some 1200 feet above the Hudson River Valley. The river can be seen meandering in the distance, far below. The canvas is freely painted throughout ... Two black bears are the only living creatures."
