A willow tree at the lake shore
1927
Fritz Lach captured the rugged beauty of nature in this 1927 sketch, focusing on a gnarled willow tree clinging to the edge of a lake. The exposed roots twist and tangle into the water, creating a dramatic contrast with the calm, expansive surface behind it. Signed and dated in the corner as being from Weyregg, this piece showcases Lach's talent for blending detailed pencil work with soft washes of color to bring a quiet landscape to life. It's a perfect snapshot of a peaceful moment by the water, frozen in time nearly a century ago.
