"The Lake, 1951"

Original drawing,

This 1951 painting of 'The Lake' is much more desolate that the earlier painting titled 'The Lake' in 1937.
It shows a vast expanse of still water, encaptured by hills all around.
Nothing is moving, nothing appears to be living,
A most dreary, empty wasteland with little to offer.
Perhaps Lowry saw something totally different, and my interpretation is way off the mark, we shall never know to be sure.
