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.

Beyond, part of a lake is visible; its lower half made up of horizontal strokes of turquoise and the upper half blending into the lower slopes of mountains. The mountains are a mixture of dark greens, blues and browns. The upper mountain slopes are blended roughly into the clouds above.

A tall group of dark evergreens is located on the righthand bank, near the picture's centre; while a staggered row of trees can be seen in the distance on the left bank. The trees on the left bank are simply indicated by thin vertical brushstrokes of dark green paint. In the background a range of violet mountains can be seen. The mountains appear to recede into the distance since their details are blended rather than distinct.

- Description
- 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.

- Description
- An unfinished sketch of a view of mountains beyond a lake. In the foreground, green and brown have been used to sketch in grasses and small trees (series of strokes placed one above the other). The surface of a light blue lake forms the middleground. Behind the lake, a hill of dark brown and black (blue) slopes from the left side of the picture. The structure of a mountain slope has been sketched in with grey (short parallel lines and a small triangle can be seen) on the righthand side. The far distance contains an unfinished mountain. (Tan has been laid over dark grey. Touches of light yellow indicate snow.) The sky has not been coloured.
