A lake rests at the centre of the composition like a dish on a table, held by rolling hills and banks of textured foliage. The trees and foreground are built in short, tactile strokes of rust, gold and olive, and the still water picks up the warmth of the season around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a picture made for a room rather than a gallery: gentle, settled and domestic in the best sense, with visible brushwork that rewards a close look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting is signed lower left, M L Achorn. A painter of this name is recorded by the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Inventories of American Painting and Sculpture, which list an oil still life, Gooseberries, dated 1894, by M. L. Achorn. That record confirms a working American painter of this signature in the 1890s. The full name behind the initials has not been established, and no other signed works are recorded on the public market, so this landscape is presented as a signature match with that documented painter. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/artists-m-l-achorn\"\u003eM.
