DescriptionMoore spent many of his summers painting at Lake George in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. "Evening, Lake George", a quiet, meditative landscape, closely resembles similar scenes painted by Moore's contemporaries such as John William Casilear and Jasper Francis Cropsey. Moore emphasizes the unspoiled, placid quality of the Lake and its environs by employing delicate tones of violet and light rose.On View
