Lake, Early Spring
Print
Lithograph print by Francis Chapin depicting the Kalamazoo lake in Saugatuck. The piece shows an early spring scene with barren trees and an overcast sky. Chapin's style and use of dark tones gives the piece a sense of the cold weather and quiet nature of the town during this time of year. If looked at closely the viewer might notice the dusty appearing fine grain of the lithograph stone that is used to print the image onto paper.
