Albert Bierstadt (American, 1830-1902)
The Emerald Pool, 1870
Oil on canvas, 76-1/2 x 119 inches
Bequest of Walter P. Chrysler, Jr.

This is an oil on canvas painting of a landscape depicting a scene of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. A dark pool of water in the foreground is surrounded by trees: the scene takes place around the end of summer because of the bright greens, yellows, and reds in the trees. Mountains appear in the background.
