View of Lake Geneva
and the City of Geneva from a Hillside in Vaud
Early 19th Century hand-colored lithograph
A group of strollers pauses on a hilltop to
admire the view of Mont Blanc, Lac Leman and
the City of Geneva. An old paddlewheeler and
a traditional sailboat pass by on the lake.
This piece is so exquisitely colored by hand
as to be equal to a painting. The artist has
used a combination of watercolor and opaque
gouache for certain details, like the white
of Mont Blanc and the sails on the sail boat.
Antique frame with old glass
Dimensions: 14.5 X 12.5 in the frame
Size of image - 7 X 5 inches
