The general colours are green, blue, grey, brown, mauve, purple and white. The painting is divided in half for dominance. The bottom-half is the icy blue/green and white of the frozen lake; on the viewer’s far right there are two small evergreens in the snow. The top-half comprises the mountains and glacier; viewer’s right the scree slope and upward sweep of a mountain, moving to the left is the next mountain with its white and blue glacier top and blue sweep down the middle of the mountain. Lower mid-centre is the glacier snow field and to the left is a brown and white mountain. The gloomy sky is grey and white swirling clouds with hints of yellow through the grey and blue sky beyond.
In the foreground on the left is a small group of trees and rocky ground leading down to a waters edge. In the mid-ground on the right is another group of trees and ground that meets the water. Just behind the trees is Bow Lake and in the background are snow capped mountains and Crowfoot Glacier. T…
In the foreground on the left is a small group of trees and rocky ground leading down to a waters edge. In the mid-ground on the right is another group of trees and ground that meets the water. Just behind the trees is Bow Lake and in the background are snow capped mountains and Crowfoot Glacier. The sky has many gray clouds with small areas of blue sky showing through.
Colour: blue, green. The land across the lower quarter is very coloured. One evergreen stands on the waters edge left of center. A little stream of water comes into the lake from the lower right. The far shore rises half way up to mountains and glacier. Blue sky goes across the top.

Description
This painting features a mountain range and a river. The upper half of the work contains the mountains. There is a peak in the tlc, and in front of this peak, cut off by the left border, stretches a brownish mountain which reaches diagonally to the right and merges with the rest of the range. This range hosts a glacier. The river portion of the painting is separated from the mountains by a row of tall evergreen trees which appear to follow the river, in front of these trees are small leafy bushes, and then rocks by the shore of the river. In the brc, the river is interrupted by large rocks, which create a small series of falls. The river exits the painting along the whole bottom of the work.
General colour: green, blue, grey. Looking down on a green valley - trees at lower left - patches of water lower right. The glacier is on the right side - mountains rise up on both sides filling the center of the picture and into the distance. Sky fills top.Signature ll: E. Lamarque 1939

A glacier extends into the centre of the painting from the right hand side. A small lake or tarn can be seen in the lower centre portion of the image. In the lower left corner there is a brown area. The same brown ground is seen above the glacier in the upper left corner and across the upper part of the image. A thin strip of blue sky is visible at the very top of the image.
