View of a glacier beyond a rise of covered ground. In the foreground is an uneven hilltop covered in vegetation. Multi-coloured grasses (ochre, yellow-green, red-brown, dark brown), a group of dark evergreens (on the right), as well as, a solitary evergreen (on the left) are found on the hilltop. In the background is a wide valley with a large glacier. The glacier (coloured with white, grey, light blue and light brown) fills most of the lefthand side. The righthand side of the background contains a mass of dark grey and brown cliffs (with touches of grey-blue and ochre). Along the upper edge of the picture (above the glacier) are loose brushstrokes of blue, white, brown and blue-grey. These marks suggest distant cliffs among ice and clouds.

View of Bow Lake, looking east towards Mount Hector in the distance. In the background are two mountains. The larger one on the right is coloured in grays: violet-grey, dark blue-grey and green-grey. A large cloud sits above the mountain, hiding its summit. The smaller mountain on the left is a medium blue-grey. A second cloud floats in front of this mountain, though the summit is visible above the cloud. In the left foreground a tall tree frames the picture. Some grey stokes indicate dead branches about the base of the tree. The lake in the middleground has the reflection of the larger mountain, in slightly lighter tones than those found on the mountain. The upper part of the reflection is indicated with small vertical strokes, while horizontal strokes are found in the lower section.
